But, for the moment, it seems that this phase, perhaps a “second phase” of the “step aside” resolution, is going to be vital to the ANC’s chances in just two years’ time. This suggests how important patronage and the perception of it is to maintaining power. Its leaders might have no choice but to ensure that the resolution is implemented. This may well be a sign that he will not be able to take up his position in a formal way, barring him from political power and patronage.
