Pics and Videos: Lindiwe Sisulu launches ‘It’s a must’ presidential campaign

Sisulu has accepted a nomination to run for presidency of the ANC.

Her campaign was officially launched in Soweto today. She previously said that she would accept nomination for the top post, going up against Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Jeff Radebe and chairperson of the ANC, Baleka Mbete.

“Should more branches see me fit to ascend to the ANC’s top job, I will avail myself.”

“But at the same time branches must work out whether the person they want is the best person for that job. My displeasure is that the ANC allowed the leadership succession debate to have names attached to it before the policy conference while we don’t even know what we are looking for.

“Now it appears we tailored our policies to suit the names that have been chosen, and that is very wrong,” she said.

Her campaign was supported by hundreds who were also wearing t-shirts with her face. The slogan for her bid is ‘It’s a must.’
