Presenting the electoral committee report on Friday, Motlanthe told the NEC that most, and probably all, disputes lodged with the provincial list committees are due to factional battles manifesting themselves at ward levels and driven by factional leaders.
, ANC regional leaders in Limpopo attempted to influence Motlanthe, in his capacity as head of the party’s electoral committee, and the committee’s national list coordinator Chiefto continue with regional elections and place Ramaphosa’s faction ahead of the so-called radical economic transformation forces in the proportional council list.
Mudunungu, however, warned Motlanthe that this would have negative implications for the ANC and would result in disputes. “I have to remind you that this list that is adopted, from the top ten, none of the CR17 members are there. We are asking ourselves if we are just allowing the municipality to be run by RET forces while we have capable members that are able to do that … We are pleading that they will stabilise the RET forces.
He added that comrades who seem to believe that they have proximity to the president often label others as RET forces to push their own personal agendas while entrenching divisions in the ANC.
