The ANC in the Western Cape has started its term as the official opposition in the province on the backfoot.
Factionalism and alleged disgruntlement in the ANC’s provincial offices, situated in downtown Cape Town, stem from the party’s poor performance in the provincial election. Unhappiness over seat deployments has also created tension.
A day later, the provincial executive committee overturned that decision, reinstating Gillion. Instead, it was provincial communications head Lionel Adendorf who was relieved of his duties. The party has not had a permanent provincial chairperson since Marius Fransman was suspended from the party in 2016, while facing sexual harassment allegations.
Cameron Dugmore, the newly appointed leader of the opposition in the Western Cape Legislature, said ongoing infighting will ultimately cost the party its chance of regaining the province.
