Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>To address its dwindling support among minority races in the country, the African National Congress (ANC) said it needs to ensure its leadership and members reflect the diversity of the country.<\/p>\n

The party has released its discussion pages ahead of its national general council this December.<\/p>\n

The council is a mid-term review forum of the ANC\u2019s challenges and progress since its last elective conference.<\/p>\n

In its discussion papers, the ANC acknowledges it never enjoyed popular support among white people.<\/p>\n

However, it has noted a significant decline in the number of its branches among Indian and coloured communities.<\/p>\n

The party said many working-class coloured people feel alienated from the democratic project and wrongly believe their limited privileges under apartheid have been replaced by marginalisation.<\/p>\n

In the Indian community, the ANC said that while they are performing better economically, they feel politically sidelined.<\/p>\n

The ANC said it needed to proactively recruit capable leaders from minority communities to show the organisation belongs to all.<\/p>\n
