Hidden in the excitement in this video clip are "the three inabilities" that weakened and continue to weaken the ANC: - inability to manage leadership transition, - inability to cope with losing leadership positions, and - inability to subject oneself to new leaders (to be led). In this video clip, JZ, TM and Terror, are all happy after their re-election at the 2002 Stellenbosch Conference. At the subsequent conference in 2007 Polokwane, JZ and TM contested for President. TM and his entire slate that included Terror lost. As a result, TM stopped attending NEC meetings, completely withdrew from political limelight and Terror formed his own political party. JZ, the victor, used every available platform to lambast the two on how they betrayed the liberation movement. When JZ’s preferred candidate lost at the 2017 National Conference, he stopped attending NEC meetings and later formed his own political party. This is a classic case of history repeating itself.
