The minister of Human Settlement, Tokyo Sexwale told the leaders to change the way of doing things or else risk to be removed.

Sexwale also down-played the rumours that he will also challenge president Jacob Zuma, for the presidential seat in ANC conference that will be held in December in Mangaung.

The Time newspaper quoted Sexwale that it is not by choice if they remove leaders. it is because young people lost hope on them.

“Young people say: ‘If you don’t change, we will ask for your removal at the next conference. And the conferences are always in December, just like Mangaung,” Sexwale said in Alexandra in Johannesburg on Sunday.

The Times newspaper quoted him as saying: “At these conferences, we change leaders, not because we want to change leaders but because the struggle is about moving forward.”

Sexwale said this during a remembrance of the ANC former president, Xuma.

The elective president will take place during December in Mangaung and even Sexwale down-played the rumours that he is challenging Jacob Zuma according to reports, ANC is divided in this burning issue.
