It’s Zweli Mkhize vs Cyril Ramaphosa at the ANC conference - Comrade Carl joins the Outside Delegates as those on the conference floor earn their Christmas bonus
55th elective conference at Nasrec in Johannesburg kicks off — last-minute court interdicts, protests and extended haggling during the delegate accreditation process permitting.
The large-scale horse trading over the top six posts by the ANC provinces is pretty much done, with the bulk of them sticking with the positions they had adopted during the branch general meetings held to elect delegates and name candidates. Word has it that the craftier comrades have mastered the art of collecting a little something for the festive from both factions — in addition to fleecing the chokers who worked the provinces but failed to make the top six ballot last month. Not a bad stocking filler for when they get home next week.
The two have been smashing out letters of suspension, disbarment and expulsion with great vigour — one assumes they are playing catch up for five years of sleeping on the job — and the way things are going there could be more cops and media types at Nasrec on Friday than voting delegates and qualifying candidates for the NEC.has ended up getting himself booted out of the ANC ahead of the conference.
