“This foundational programme aims to inspire all members to embody the values of the ANC to become active agents of change in their communities, while fostering unity and commitment to the organisation’s mission and goals,” Bhengu-Motsiri said.
She said the rollout of the course will be led by the National Executive Committee (NEC) in each ANC branch.
“Our national rollout will begin with the training of 300 trainers and three facilitators per ANC branch to ensure effective delivery across all regions, and this will include the veterans, experienced organisers, and leaders from the ANC Women’s League, Youth League and alliance partners. Each province will co-ordinate local leaders and organisers to ensure that the majority of our members complete the training within the next year.”
She emphasised that completion is compulsory.
“Completion of the foundation course … will be a prerequisite for all members seeking leadership or candidacy positions. Advanced training will follow for those interested in deepening their involvement at the branch, regional, provincial and national political schools’ levels.”
Political classes and masterclasses will also be provided for all ANC leaders, Bhengu-Motsiri added. She reaffirmed the ANC’s commitment to empowering its members through education
“This course will be pivotal for members who are ready to uphold our values, represent the ANC’s vision and seek to serve the South African people with integrity and dedication.”
