The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has disbanded its Josiah Gumede regional executive committee (REC) after weeks of unrest in Ladysmith, a town located in the region.
Ntuli said the decision came after months of internal infighting in the region, which led to the province appointing an interim secretary after secretary Sipho Hlomuka was elected to the provincial executive committee .
“At the heart of their problems was that the REC was cracking. There were two groups emerging in the REC. The group that did not have an acting regional secretary on their side had a feeling that he did not do his work in a manner that is consistent with what is supposed to be done by a secretary,” he said.
He said the REC in its current form was having “serious difficulties” in providing leadership, not only to structures of the ANC but to communities governed by the party. Ntuli said it was urgent that challenges in the region and the Uthukela municipality were resolved, as the ANC had only taken over the district municipality from the IFP after the 2016 local government elections.there is working very hard to come back and lead the district. We got that region from the IFP, we are yet to consolidate ourselves properly and yet we are confronted by internal problems.
