In a communication to the party’s national executive committee members on Monday, which City Press has seen, the ANC’s deputy secretary-general, Jessie Duarte, said the party had managed to register all its candidates.
In the communication to the NEC on Monday, Duarte wrote: “All our candidates are now registered with the IEC, and they have acknowledged receipt. We appeal to you to understand that you will continue to receive complaints and you may wish to ask for changes on the list.” However, Duarte told the NEC members that “at this stage your perpetual calls to change names on the list is not possible”.
