Paseka Nompondo, coordinator of the Free State ANC's interim provincial committee, and Oupa Khoabane, the spokesperson.Free State ANC interim provincial committee coordinator Paseka Nompondo has announced that regional and provincial conferences will be held in September.
Nompondo added that regional conferences would be held between 15 and 30 September and that the provincial conference would take place towards the end of September. Speaking to News24 on Wednesday, IPC spokesperson Oupa Khoabane said discussions on the exact dates for the regional and provincial conferences were ongoing.
Furthermore, he said the delay in the convening of regions and provinces was to avoid"unnecessary litigation". In 2017, a similar fate befell the province's PEC after the NEC decided that the PECs of KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State would not be allowed to vote on any matter at the party's hotly contested 54th elective conference in Nasrec.
Last month, disgruntled ANC members from the Mangaung region approached the Free State High Court over what it termed the"slow pace of conference preparations."
