Conference proceedings had to be aborted in December after delegates failed to work through its full agenda in the five days it allocated.
CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress 's 55th national conference resumes on Thursday to adopt policy resolutions that will set the direction for the party over the next five years.Elections for the top leadership and its executive dominated the December proceedings that saw President Cyril Ramaphosa emerge victorious for a second term as party president.
UCT politics professor, Zwelethu Jolobe, said that while the conference in December was consumed by leadership contests, the chosen candidates were not necessarily aligned to the party’s policy intentions. Jolobe said that, for example, there’d been little discussion on the impact that the energy crisis was having on people’s livelihoods.
