He was also worried that the ANC national executive committee had become a stumbling block in efforts to rebuild and renew the party.
Saul, who cited the "reckless and adventurous behaviour" of some ANC leaders, confirmed that there were "people already projecting themselves for the 2029 national elective conference of the ANC".
