Sandile Zungu, a businessman and AmaZulu football club owner, warns that gatekeeping threatens the ANC's future, stating the party talks about renewal but isn't genuinely renewing. Though he won't campaign for office, he remains open to serving the country if called upon. Zungu previously withdrew from the ANC leadership race in KwaZulu-Natal, citing a lack of genuine support and acknowledging the party's departure from its original values. He criticizes the ANC for failing to attract good talent due to gatekeeping, which he believes is leading the party towards decline.
