The party said that its chairperson Siboniso Duma and other top five officials, who are already serving as MECs in the provincial government, did not want to take over the office of the premier.
DURBAN - KwaZulu-Natal African National Congress officials said that none of them were ready to assume the position of premier and that’s why none of them were considered for the post.
There has been a question as to why Duma is not being appointed as the next premier, like others who previously held the top position. Other party officials, including deputy provincial secretary Sipho Hlomuka and deputy provincial chair, Nomagugu Simelane, who are also serving as MECs, are said to have also indicated their disinterest.
