The region is plagued by factional battles between the so-called the radical economic transformation (RET) grouping and supporters aligned to President Cyril Ramaposa (CR-17).
The second-biggest ANC region in Limpopo is calling for an early regional elective conference before the November municipal elections to chunk out the current regional executive committee , perceived to comprise VBS tainted top five members. ANC top brass in the Vhembe region Anderson Mudunungu last week presented his case to ANC electoral committee chair and former president Kgalema Motlanthe on the region’s readiness to hold an elective conference.
The clandestine virtual meeting, was allegedly attended by members of the party’s Veterans’ League and ANC bigwigs from regions and subregions in and around Limpopo. “Branches are having a huge outcry to say that this REC structure has overstayed its constitutional mandate. Some leaders within the REC are people who are still having the VBS stigma, which is still very strong in the region and could work against the ANC. So it is important for the region to hold its elective conference before the elections in an effort to avoid disputes and possible legal recourse from disgruntled party members,” Mudunungu told the meeting.
