The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal has chosen not to comment on the decision by the party's national leadership to restructure the provincial organization. The National Executive Committee (NEC) announced its intention to reconfigure the leadership in both KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng following the ANC's poor performance in the May elections, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal where support dropped to just under 17%. The provincial leadership has remained silent on the specifics of the restructuring, referring questions to national officials. Meanwhile, the ANC and the South African Communist Party (SACP) have expressed support for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's decision to disband a task team investigating political killings, calling for a wider investigation into the alleged involvement of police in suspicious deaths. The alliance partners have also called on the government to protect the troubled iThala bank and condemned the potential closure of ArcelorMittal SA operations, which could lead to job losses.

This led to calls from some within the party for its national leadership to take action. It was established in 2018 by the government to focus on the investigation of political murders. At the time, the investigators had a caseload of over 140 matters to deal with.
