three-day national conference starting on Friday. At least 450 voting delegates from six provinces with the exception of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are expected to attend the gathering. Briefing the media in Boksburg this afternoon, the Convenor of the ANC Veterans League Dr Snuki Zikalala says they are saddened by the relationship that the ANC has with the EFF which he says it doesn’t share any values and principles with it.

The leadership of the top seven officials have promised to meet with us that going coalition with a party that doesn’t respect the values of the ANC and does not believe in the rule of the law that doesn’t make us look good as the ANC.
