Picture: SuppliedThe national ANC leadership’s indecision on the future of KwaZulu-Natal provincial executive committee is now delaying elective conferences in the regions whose terms are expiring.
It was because of dismal performance during the May general elections where the party lost the province. The regional spokesperson Mlondi Mkhize said the region is waiting for the directive on when it can start preparations for the conference. He cited the outstanding issues between the national and provincial structure as the reason why Luthuli House has not communicated anything about conferences in the province.
As the biggest region not only in the province but in the country, eThekwini was supposed to have started the processes, holding branch elections and getting branches ready for the conference.
