eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal’s biggest region in the ANC, is yet to decide on who it will be supporting at the province's elective conference — a day before it starts.
“There is a position in the REC, the person we consider for that position was the only one raised. We then said no, we have to go to branches with two names to give them to consider because when it's one it looks like an instruction. We then added a second name.
“Where you see two names you might think these people are [at] loggerheads but there was a position; she was the only one nominated and we said we are quite comfortable with her leadership experience but the meeting took a principled decision that we can't go to branches with one,” said Mkhize. TimesLIVE understands that Peggy Nkonyeni for provincial chair enjoys support within the REC, while Bheki Mtolo enjoys support for secretary.
However, some delegations have raised questions about Nomusa Dube-Ncube and Sandile Zungu being in the REC list — both are running for the post of chair. “The question is they were also nominated by branches in eThekwini so how did the REC arrive at the name and what must happen to the other two names?” asked a branch leader.
