Siboniso Duma says he will be engaging in high-level, behind-the-scenes talks and deals in the run-up to the ANC elective conference. This is because behind the scenes is where leaders are decided.
After that, the party’s KZN leadership was the first to announce that it wanted Zweli Mkhize to take on Ramaphosa for ANC president.
“Those results are the true reflection of the branches and what they want and need at this point and time. Almost all our preferred candidates — those who were proclaimed and pronounced by us as KZN — qualified to be on the ballot. “That conference in December should be a watershed in a sense that comrades must unite, understanding that we’ve got 2024 elections. So, the issue of December conference is not a means to an end, but it is where comrades must debate policies and how are we going to implement to the T the policies that are critical to the economic outlook of the country, when are you reviving the element of the stronger branches so that you are regarded as the leader of society… as opposed to declaring that.
“Our duty is to nominate and give mandate to ANC comrades to lead the organisation. If they are elected it is fine, but if they are not elected it is part of the culture of the ANC. Out of the nine provinces, as KZN we are not duty-bound or entitled to get a position in the top six. It is always a privilege to get it. As the leadership we are talking to and lobbying with other provinces and regions .”The upcoming conference will not take place in a vacuum.
