By Mpho Dube

The African National Congress (ANC) is facing a critical moment in its history, as it grapples with a deepening crisis that threatens to undermine its integrity and future prospects. The party's leadership is under pressure to take decisive action to resolve the crisis, but the question remains: will they take responsibility or wash their hands of the problem like Pontius Pilate?

The ANC's internal conflicts and power struggles have been well-documented, and the current crisis is just the latest manifestation of this broader problem. The party's inability to resolve its internal conflicts has led to a loss of public trust and a decline in its electoral prospects. The ANC's leadership needs to demonstrate a commitment to transparency, accountability, and decisive action to restore party unity and integrity.

The ANC's investigation committee will play a critical role in determining the party's future. If the committee finds that there were irregularities and wrongdoing, the party needs to take swift and decisive action against those responsible. The party also needs to take steps to prevent similar crises in the future, including reforming its internal processes and improving its transparency and accountability.

The ANC's leadership needs to demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability. The party's members and the public are watching closely, and they will judge the party's actions based on its ability to deal with the crisis in a fair and transparent manner.

The ANC's future depends on its ability to resolve its internal conflicts and emerge stronger and more united. The party's leadership needs to demonstrate a commitment to transparency, accountability, and decisive action to restore party unity and integrity. If the party fails to take decisive action, it risks being subjected to more divisions, cracks, and a tarnished image.
