I was only 6 Months old when this historical conference took place. The 1991 July conference has changed the political landscape of our country the continent at large. Today this glorious movement is led by people who do not champion the struggle of our people. We are new dawn of leaders in the ANC and I'm proud to say as young as we are, we are contesting the space to renew the ANC to its rightful position as liberation movement of Chief Albert Luthuli and others. Aluta
i see my charismatic and historical leader the Great late Oliver Tambo..Aluta continua from Morogoro Tanzania where we host them for years before they went back to South Africa. we miss you guys
This conference was held before I was born but I can feel it in my heart that that this was the organization of the people the organization that was determined to work for the people... It is pity that that today we are dwelling in poverty because few leaders decided to defer the ideal position of this great movement. I weep, I weep, I weep
Looking back.. This indeed marked the birth of a betterment of South Africa with great, hope & vigor. As to how we got to where we are today.😭 As to how we became
While we were caught in anticipation of political victory frenzy, the enemy had a strategy to dismantle the movement by absorbing many of its leaders into top economic positions to ensure the exclusive systems were maintained and this changed much of their focus into self enrichment with many becoming instant millionaires, and once such happened it was only a matter before the wheels came off. There are many then young leaders who have become too rich to bother about what they once fought for.
@@cliffordsebone3673 What is your actual point? Obviously two-thirds in percentage is anything above 66.6%. ANC missed that mark by 2.9% in the first elections, which is insignificant. If there was a 5% barrier (like in most western democracies) that excludes insiginificant parties from entering the parliament, then ANC would have won a clear two-thirds majority. So they basically decided to give a few parliament seats to insignigicant parties.
I always come back to this clip particularly minute 41:13. God bless and rest the souls of the women who fought for this country and the continent at large.
@@mmolokiadmiliakitso8582 would you at least admit that Polokwane conference was the moment died when Zuma ascended to power? Because this was the moment the country elected a clown who drove our country down
This happened 9 years before my birth and for the fact that this "once this glorious movement of the people" was already liberating my parents from apartheid...liberating them "politically" not economically. That is how they lost it!!!! I am a eff member and will die so but this ANC will forever be great in our hearts!!!!

Aaaaaaaaa gone are the days that is why some of us seem to forget the ANC I will not change to be an ANC I even don't need to be canvassed I am ANC until I leave this earth my salary of three months was 99rands because of my colour viva viva💪💪💪
Those days when we as blacks used to have one common goal not now. The party that we thought will bring us total freedom has produced more political parties than any other party in Africa if not the whole world.. Sad indeed.
Where we are as a nation makes me cringe when I look at the hope the general members had on this conference. The leadership team looked steady and solid, the people were unshaken, the vision looked clear and the hopeless had their hopes brought back and the lives lost amounted to something for this great movement that was 😦, well that was before it became a gravy train only few known and connected faces could climb😤
A true & genuinely focused liberation movement led by ethical induviduals. They were not perfect as no one is. But they were devoted & determined to liberate black people & move them out of the shackles of the incessant poverty and unfair discrimination that was happening at that time. Not what we're witnessing now under the leadership of a self_enriching group of inconsiderate, money_hungry & utterly disrespectful individuals.
This was a long time ago. Before the gravy train ,Zondo Commission, phalaphala and many other own goals.Cant even recognise these people. Some of them were young, sincere and radical. Now they all have pot bellies with their hands inside cookie jar. Eish
People forget that without the SACP the ANC would struggle to win majority. The other issue is the IFP was big in KZN in 1994. Look at how the capital of the province was Ulundi and Martizburg. The highest number of votes won by the ANC was in 2004, after the formation of the DA. What was left of the NNP was swallowed up by the ANC and the DP and NNP for the DA. It's why Tony Leon always had a government job until he left.
The ANC died with Chris Hani, Oliver Thambo, Walter Sisulu, Goven Mbeki and ultimately Nelson Mandela. The people who were suppose to take the baton failed. Thabo Mbeki made his biggest mistake by suspending Jacob Zuma as the Deputy president. The centralizing of executive decisions as Terror Legkota mentioned became a thorn and division of the glorius movement. While ANC was in leadership crisis under Mbeki, a conference wa ought to be called and resolutions taken by the masses.
I cry everyday imagining this situation. The biggest problem was allowing the ANC to appoint reserve bank governors & finance ministers. Had they chose not to accept tge responsibility of running these two institutions ANC would have been far & still glorified. Sadly its now a shadow of former self bcs of money. Im glad Zuma lived longer to witness his own encaceration for abusing the nations noble dream,
Which conference are you referring to? Are you aware that CR was commanding Worker's union COSATU and was SG of these times. So which backdoor are you talking about? Or you're speaking from a position of hate, which has blinded your thinking?
@@nhlanhlanene4847 The same union that was funded by the Ruperts or Oppenheimers. Look at how the unions have failed the workers. The apartheid wage gap still exist even after 30 years. Cyril can never be praised for anything except that he is rich
@@nhlanhlanene4847 The problem is the system that was created with the formation of these unions. You get deductions from your salary even if you are not a member of a union. Eventually people choose to belong to a union because you can't have your money being deducted for nothing.
They couldn't sell their "rainbow nation" story with The Great OIiver Reginald Tambo, no. They needed another face...They needed a Mandela. His "stroke" was always suspicious.
The Anc lost all this. The history, legacy, aspirations of the the people! It is all gone. Greed, direagard for science, fact and reason-total path to destruction. How sad?
Thank You to the Founders of the Democratic South Africa (Elders) : Watching the Journeyman pictures video's on Zimbabwe and Joshua Nkomo and Mugabe's rivalry.... And understand this last mile they must fix in SA: 1. Jobs 2. Housing 3. Infrastructure & Service Delivery 4. AU Voting Model similar to EU where parties are voted and represented in the parliament through African citizens votes Zimbabwe was focused on land cause the Household Value and Lifeline, wealth depended on the resources on the land. And now it's time for it's industrial economy to kick in, Still wish our leaders could've done more
The selling out started during the times when the old South African government came up with a plan to fix the bankrupt government and those were the times when anc was banned and some of its leaders were in carceration. Those comrades who negotiated the release of those political prisoners are the very once who compromised. During the time when the speech "wind of change" was made a compromise had already happened.
How come Thabo Mbeki was replaced by Cyril as chief commission negotiator? Why was Zuma not part of the negotiations team? Who was appointed to be part of negotiations team and what criteria was used in selection? We are in this mess becouse of those choices
@@kellsmothelesi401 You mean around the same time the late Kenneth Kaunda called the like of Thabo Mbeki basket revolutionaries, who even then officials sought to carry clout on who they were we are told
Robust debate and acting democratically remains the cornerstones of the strength of the ANC. Currently people classify these tenets of democracy "Factionalism" - wrong.

Finally a Sisulu and Tambo moment you as the viewer can engage with them as a person and understand the main critical points they stressed.
Thanks for giving us this Apex CONFERENCE of South Africa. 👏 👏 👏 😁
