ANC blames infighting for KZN losses, while IFP says hard work paid off

The ANC says internal ructions were one of the main causes of its poor showing in KZN; the IFP, meanwhile, is celebrating a significant rise in support.

The ANC has blamed the losses on factional infighting. It failed to retain several municipalities, including the eThekwini metro. The results mean the ANC now controls only three of the province’s 11 district municipalities as opposed to five previously. ..A subscription gives you full digital access to all Sunday Times content.Registered on the BusinessLIVE, Business Day or Financial Mail websites?
