Read: If you asked Kgalema Motlanthe who he'd vote for, he'd say the ANC

Mathekga says the party is deeply divided, beyond a mere personality contest.

He believes that the tensions that exist within the ANC will most likely continue beyond December.

We cannot press a reset in December, that opportunity is no longer there.

— Ralph Mathekga, political analyst

They are no longer petty divisions that you can reduce to personalities.

— Ralph Mathekga, political analyst

The reality is that whoever is going to win this elective conference is going to have to confront those who will have lost.

— Ralph Mathekga, political analyst

I don't think there is an opportunity for outright unity within the ANC.

— Ralph Mathekga, political analyst
