  • Political analysts express scepticism about the newly appointed ANC leaders in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, citing factionalism and past loyalties as significant barriers to reviving the party ahead of the 2026 elections.

The article from MSN discusses skepticism among political analysts regarding the capabilities of David Masondo and Sihle Zikalala, recently appointed as ANC provincial coordinators for Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal respectively, to rejuvenate the ANC's influence in these key regions. Despite their appointments, there is doubt about their ability to address the deep-seated issues within the party, including factionalism and governance failures. Analyst Zakhele Ndlovu highlighted that while Masondo and Zikalala are competent, the ANC's problems are structural and require more than just leadership changes. The article also notes the ANC's declining support in these provinces, with the DA and IFP gaining ground in KwaZulu-Natal, and the EFF and MK party posing threats in Gauteng. The analysts suggest that without significant internal reforms, the ANC's electoral prospects remain uncertain.
