Where has the ANC's intellectual depth gone?

Some of the ANC’s discussion documents prepared for the party’s policy conference give the impression that the party with two decades in power lacks governing experience.

Sympathetic historians, who understand what the ANC has stood for over the years, would feel sad about the goings-on in OR Tambo’s party. The latter would be very sad about the decimation of its intellectual depth.

If the party has to recover its high ground, the starting point would be to rescue it intellectually. Tragically, there is no discernible plan to recalibrate the ANC’s intellectual capacity.
