As the Independent Electoral Commission undertook its voter registration drive ahead of next year's general elections at the weekend, political parties went out to charm the electorate.
ANC, like any incumbent, fears loss of power. Ramaphosa and Mabuza sense the serious threat the EFF poses, and suppose they could neutralise it by winning Malema over.
This overture is ironic given that Ramaphosa was chair of the disciplinary appeals committee that dismissed Malema's appeal of his expulsion from the party in 2012.Back then, Ramaphosa along with the committee was convinced that Malema's expulsion was well found.
The EFF is already gloating over getting the ANC's ascension to its bid to amend the constitution on the land question. This comes on the back of the ANC caucus in parliament agreeing to append the EFF's motion of no confidence in former president Jacob Zuma in February when it seemed unlikely that he would resign.
They deemed Malema's actions to be so grievous as to be sufficient grounds for the ANC to disassociate itself from him. In the present context of the ANC's renewal, the call for Malema's return to the ANC fold betrays a deep sense of insecurity. It does very little to inspire confidence in the ANC's leadership.It makes Ramaphosa look weak. He comes across like a man so desperate to distance himself from his predecessor that he is willing to disown his own past convictions.
I honestly think that Ramaphosa should stop recruiting people that left the ANC because not only does it make hin weak, but it also makes him look desperate and the party as well. It is just really not what the party needs right now.

Thank You ForReadingg.Pleasecomment and share. H&W.
The decion that was taken by Ramaphosa and Mabuza was not good because it seems that they fear Malema when they ask him to rejoin the party and the Anc seems as desparate and they fear that they will loose elections without Malema in 2019.
