The ANC wants all party members to renew their membership regardless of how long they have been with the party. All members will also have to be vetted.
The proposal was made at the party's policy conference at Nasrec in Johannesburg on Friday. Should the policy conference adopt this position, it will make recommendations to the national conference in December.
Former president Thabo Mbeki is one of the party leaders who have advocated overhauling the ANC membership. These members, according to Potgieter, need to be rooted out while the party puts in place measures to vet new members who want to join the party.
