Former president Jacob Zuma's acolytes are gearing up take-back regions in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and North West before the ANC mid-term meeting.
Former president Jacob Zuma’s supporters in the ANC will take their battle to win back control of the party to a series of regional and provincial conferences next month.
Winning the conferences will be a major boost for the Zuma camp, which lost ground in the provinces after the national elective conference at Nasrec in December 2017. The movement of David Mabuza, the longstanding former provincial ANC chairperson, to the deputy presidency after Nasrec created the need for a fresh provincial election.
Previous conferences have been marred by allegations of membership fraud, which resulted in the collapse of the eHlanzeni and Bohlabela regions after a national executive committee task team discovered ghost memberships and cloned branches. She will head a slate consisting of ANC Youth League eThekwini leader Thembo Ntuli as her deputy; councillor Musa Nciki as secretary, Nkosenhle Madlala as deputy secretary and Nomthandazo Shabalala as treasurer.
A Zuma supporter on the PEC, who asked not to be named, said they would also field slates in the Lower South Coast, General Gizenga Mpanza and Josiah Gumede regions, all of which will still hold conferences.
