The fate of the ANC's Gauteng and KZN provincial structures hangs in the balance as crucial talks loom.
ANC SG Fikile Mbalula says the party is yet to take a decision on the future of the Gauteng and KZN provincial structures. FileSpeculation surrounding the future of the African National Congress provincial structures in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal has reached a fever pitch as the party holds its crucial National Executive Committee meeting this weekend.
The ANC’s highest decision-making body between national conferences, is considering three potential courses of action for Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. In a stark reflection of the ANC's struggles, the party's voter share in KwaZulu-Natal has plummeted to a mere 17 percent—indicative of the significant political shifts in the region. Mbalula's recent statements confirmed that discussions regarding the two provinces are at the forefront of the NEC's agenda.
The deliberations during the NEC will assess various options for the party’s regional structures. Mbalula outlined these possibilities, including maintaining the status quo, bolstering the existing leadership, or undertaking the drastic step of dissolving the provincial structures to start afresh.
