The KwaZulu-Natal ANC conference is expected to go down to the wire with more than five proposed slates doing the rounds ahead of the start of the conference on Friday.
JOHANNESBURG - It's likely to be down to the wire for the African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal, when it comes to selecting new leadership to head up the party’s largest province, with regions and caucuses taking place as it sits for its ninth provincial conference this weekend.
Eyewitness News understands that negotiations lasted well into the night and are likely to continue all the way until ballots are cast, with whatever desires eThekwini has expected to find expression in the top five. More than five proposed slates have been doing the rounds, with some wanting to retain the status quo, which will mean Sihle Zikalala and Mdumiseni Ntuli retaining their respective roles as chairperson and secretary, while others have been pushing to see those believed to be aligned to embattled national executive committee member, Dr Zweli Mkhize’s allies rising to control the ANC's largest province.
