Could Patrice Motsepe become the ANC’s next president?
Key FactsMotsepe emerges as potential ANC unity candidate
Aug 17, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: iol.co.za
  • The PM27 campaign promotes Motsepe as a possible successor to Cyril Ramaphosa despite his repeated distancing from the idea.

  • An earlier poll put Motsepe five percentage points ahead of Paul Mashatile among general voters; Fikile Mbalula led Mashatile by 15% among ANC voters.

  • The ANC lost its national majority in 2024, won 40.18% of the vote and subsequently entered a Government of National Unity.

  • Analyst Theo Neethling warns that voter popularity does not ensure victory amid internal nominations, provincial structures and liberation credentials.
    • "His business success offers a fresh image free from government failure, but he lacks experience running a complex state administration."— Theo Neethling, political analyst and research fellow in the Department of Political Studies and Governance at the University of the Free State, commenting on Motsepe's viability as a unity candidate for the ANC's 2027 leadership
