The ANC in the Western Cape says it expects 700 delegates to converge on Cape Town’s International Convention Centre this weekend as the party is set to elect its provincial leaders for the first time in eight years.
The incoming leadership will lead the party’s campaign towards next year’s general election. At this week’s event, conference delegates will discuss the approach towards the polls where the provincial ANC is hoping to take the governing DA below 50%.
Lerumo Kalako, the head of the interim provincial committee that has been running the affairs of the party since August 2019, said 650 of the delegates will come from branches, regional executive committees, IPC and party leagues. The rest will be guests from the alliance partners, fraternal organisations and the media.
He was addressing journalists on Monday about preparations for the three-day conference starting on Friday. Kalako said after its appointment, the IPC embarked on extensive renewing and rebuilding ANC structures in the province. “From time to time, questions were asked about the ability of this IPC to deliver on the terms of reference given to it by the national executive committee , this was largely because people confined themselves to matters relating to organising a conference, whereas the terms of references were quite extensive and clear on what needed to be done,” he said.
