As the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal prepares to elect new leaders, several issues threaten to postpone the provincial conference of the party's most robust support base. | JKwritingz
ANC KZN secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli says there are numerous outstanding issues that need to be resolved before the party holds its elective conference in mid-July.
ANC KZN secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli said he was confident that by the time the conference sits in three weeks, the 70% BGMs needed for the conference to go ahead would have been met. Ntuli said in total, 831 branches had met the 100 or more membership needed for them to be part of the conference, but of this 831, only 500 had convened their BGMs.
"That team produced a report which was subsequently adopted by the NEC. The report, among other things, would have indicated where in certain places, including here in KZN, there was a breach of the ANC guidelines in terms of the selection of some of our ward candidates. KwaZulu-Natal ANC regions were pushing for the upcoming ruling party provincial conference to take a stance against the organisation's current step-aside resolution.
Ntuli, however, clarified that the PEC had decided that the body would second-guess the decision of the NEC, such as the step aside guidelines, even though there were clear differences in how it should be implemented.
