Newly elected ANC KwaZulu-Natal chair Sboniso Duma on Sunday won his first leadership test by reigning in unruly party members who attempted to embarrass President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa addressed more than 1,600 delegates gathered at the Olive Convention Centre to elect new leadership amid concerns about how he would be received.
There were attempts to embarrass Ramaphosa when delegates booed him and chanted “Zuma” as he was about to address them. He conceded there were issues in the province and one was that “we are not happy with the judicial system. We are not going to be quiet”. But, he said, because plenary and delegates in branch general meetings know the process, “they need to allow the president to speak. We will tell the president about the issues”.
