Media Statement

The African National Congress (ANC) has noted the media’s interest in the leaked recording of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting discussing the ANC’s 2024 elections campaign.

The ANC’s longstanding principle is not to comment on leaked information because we do not want to dignify this unethical behaviour with a response.

While the ANC will not be drawn into commenting on statements made by individual leaders during its meetings, the ANC is confident of the impact its elections campaign is making and the positive reception the movement is receiving across the length and breadth of the country.

The ANC respects the separation of party and state, and has a responsibility to monitor its representatives in government and to intervene where appropriate to ensure that its undertakings and commitments to the citizens are not compromised.
