GAUTENG - African National Congress (ANC) spokesperson Pule Mabe has big plans to turn around the ruling party’s financial state. The politician is vying for the position of treasurer-general at the party’s 55th national conference in December.

The ANC has been experiencing financial issues and has struggled to settle its monthly R18 million bill for its staff. Mabe spoke to TimesLIVE about his plans and said the party might need to consider crowdfunding and other fundraising strategies.

The treasurer-general hopeful said the single biggest cost of the ANC is human capital. However, he said if the issue is dealt with, then the biggest cost would be the election campaign.

Mabe said the party should consider hiring personal assistants that perform functions for the organisation rather than employing one person for every senior management head. He also proposed that the ANC amends its constitution to allow either two treasurer-generals or a deputy.

Mabe said the party needs a change in gear and mindset of its members. During the interview, the politician said the success of the ANC depends on the actions taken by members and leaders of the party.

Mabe, former ANC Youth League Deputy President Andile Lungisa and Ekurhuleni Chairperson Mzwandile Masina have confirmed their plans to contend for the position. According to the Mail & Guardian, the treasurer-general position is considered the toughest in the top six.
