ANC MK Veteran, Carl Niehaus , has officially resigned from the African National Congress (ANC) with immediate effect on Friday , 23 December 2022.
A man of his words, Carl Niehaus!
This comes up just after he committed a day before the 55th National Conference of the ANC that was held recently, in his video clip, Mpangazitha said should President Cyril Ramaphosa emerge for 2nd term, he will be leaving the ANC.
Carl Niehaus was actually a liability in the African National Congress (ANC) as in many times he has appear to put the name of the party into disrepute, he was too factional and praise singer of highest note… All the things ANC is against!
He has caused blunders for Former President Jacob Zuma, Ace Magashule and lately for Zwelini Mkhize…
His resignation cannot undo the things he did to those peoples image, he messed them up and now hanging boots when he actually have to stand with them, indeed he is a selfish man Mpangazitha!
As sad as it may be seen, this is a bold decision by a member who has served the African National Congress for 43 years as its member and clearly it cannot be ignored by the ANC.
This move is strategic, somehow claiming easy victory as Carl has actually been dumped by the ANC and he is making as if he is the one who is dumping the ANC.
This resignation and termination is not innocent, it goes with seeking public sympathy, act as a hero and a decisive leader as to him, it’s about individuals and not the organization as he said he will be leaving the ANC ONLY if President Cyril gets 2nd term.
He was actually hoping for Zweli Mkhize to be the ANC president, as most of those who refer themselves as “RET-Forces” were hoping to use the name of Zwelini Mkhize to push for their initial program of RET and now that didn’t happen, he want to play a hero while in fact he is running away from the whip of the ANC!
Were the rumors about him and others are set to open a new political party true?
“I will continue to be fully part of the struggle for RET, and full liberation. When one vehicle for the achievement of our liberation falters and dies – as is the case with the ANC – Others MUST emerge. Ultimately the ideal of a truly liberated and just South Africa can, and will, never be destroyed” – Carl Niehaus
Clearly the plans have been in place, he is ready with whoever is working with and which mostly are people who are associated to RET.
As we wait for the 4th of January…
It has recently been said after the Monday victory by President Cyril Ramaphosa that, there is a group of “RET-Forces” planning to open a political party as they feel President is for whites and neglecting the blacks, not implementing the ANC’s radical resolutions because of his alliance with the whites.
Carl Niehaus has been a staunch supporter of former President Jacob Zuma, who has been on loggerheads with the President since 2017 after his ex-wife lost to the incumbent.
It then comes as no surprise as it means he is just ashamed to be expelled by ANC, rather play hero and seen as a leader who dumped ANC, when one is saying his blood is black, green and gold but leave the ANC because of an individual, it means it’s about personal interest and not about the organization anymore.
The ANC national disciplinary committee issued an expulsion letter to Niehaus which was circulated on social media on the 12 October .
Niehaus said he heard of his expulsion from ANC MP Supra Mahumapelo, who had also seen the letter on social media. Niehaus has announced that he will appeal the NDC’s decision which he labelled a “kangaroo court”.
His argument to appear as a hero is that, by virtue that he has appealed his expulsion verdict, he remains the member of the ANC and hence he is the one leaving the ANC now.
That argument doesn’t hold waters as he is aware that even his appeal was not going to find expression, so he acts a hero and want to paint President Cyril black in the books of the ANC because of a member of 43 years has decided to dump the organization because of him.
Carl has been controversial for many times, it was sometimes felt that ANC is smaller than Carl and Carl is bigger than it. Then today, he decide to dump the ANC and that on its own is the end for him in politics!
Farewell and good luck on preparing for your political party Mpangazitha!
