The African National Congress (ANC) is restructuring its leadership in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Gauteng provinces after disappointing results in the 2024 general elections. The reconfiguration process, aimed at revitalizing the party and rebuilding trust, has sparked both debate and anticipation.
The African National Congress ( ANC ) is undertaking a significant reconfiguration of its leadership in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Gauteng provinces following disappointing results in the 2024 general elections. Sources reveal that the party's first secretary-general, Nomvula Mokonyane, faced scrutiny from the KZN provincial executive committee (PEC) on Tuesday, as many perceived the reconfiguration as a disbandment of existing structures.
Concerns were raised about the removal of provincial secretaries and the implications for the party's organization. One source cited the public criticism of President Cyril Ramaphosa and secretary-general Fikile Mbalula by former KZN chairperson, Sihle Mtolo, regarding the ANC's electoral defeat as a potential factor in his removal.Despite initial resistance and calls for amendments, the ANC is pushing forward with the reconfiguration process. Meetings with the PECs of both KZN and Gauteng are scheduled to finalize and approve the list of newly appointed members. While the official names remain undisclosed, the party aims to engage with regional branches and conduct comprehensive inductions for the reconfigured leadership. Strategic planning sessions will also be held to guide the implementation of the 2024 ANC Manifesto and address the electoral setbacks.In a statement released on Wednesday, the ANC emphasized its commitment to renewal, political education, and the revitalization of its structures. The party stressed that the reconfiguration aims to strengthen its presence, reconnect with communities, and restore public confidence. The newly appointed leadership in KZN and Gauteng is tasked with inspiring hope, addressing the electoral challenges, and driving transformation and development in line with the ANC's renewal agenda
