SABC News | 11.12.2025 22:55ANC Head of Education and former Gauteng Premier David Makhura has conceded significant shortcomings in the party’s performance, acknowledging the party’s own contribution to the steep decline in electoral support the organisation has experienced in recent years. Once commanding nearly 70% of the national vote, the ANC suffered its worst electoral setback last year, dropping to just over 40% and losing outright control of government.
