African National Congress (ANC) deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe has criticised party members vying for positions within the organisation, saying they are mostly the source of divisions, the SABC reported on Sunday.
His remarks came after President Jacob Zuma announced a national cabinet reshuffle and many provinces then following suit.
Motlanthe reiterated the importance of unity, saying that ANC members should not view redeployment as a demotion. He said that members of the ANC must accept being deployed to any position, the broadcaster said.
"Whether you are elected to lead a branch, that is still a very important responsibility, you must be able to focus on that and perform it, it doesn't matter if you were once a leader of a province or a leader of the ANC at national level if your next task is at local level take that and accept that and perform it to the best of your abilities," Motlanthe said.
Motlanthe was speaking in Richard's Bay where he was meant to address an ANC's Imvuselelo rally.
Imvuselelo is a campaign to improve it membership by 2012.
