- ANC chair Gwede Mantashe considers a visit by President Ramaphosa to Marikana abnormal since Jacob Zuma was president during the massacre.
- Accusations against Ramaphosa’s involvement as a Lonmin director in the 2012 killings are downplayed by Mantashe.
- The MK party secured its first ward in North West in September 2025, slightly reducing ANC’s vote share there.
- The ANC views the rise of splinter parties as a greater threat than MK alone and predicts the MK party will collapse.
To expect Ramaphosa to go to Marikana is an abnormal arrangement. Zuma was the president and there was a minister of police, and nobody talks about that. Ramaphosa does not owe Marikana a visit; he owes Marikana a visit like everybody else.— Gwede Mantashe, ANC chairperson, in an exclusive interview with the Mail & Guardian.
