‘If we can’t get ANC right, we can’t also get government right’ – Lesufi
The congress was unable to conclude its work and resolved to reconvene its provincial conference on July 9 and 10 to conclude deliberations on policy documents and finalise the election of additional provincial executive committee members.The ANC national executive committee spent three weeks prior to the conference trying to resolve the matter with no success. It was only on the day of the conference that the NEC referred the issue back to the PEC.
After the PEC meeting, we also had to consult with legal advisors before defending the urgent court matter. “The national dispute resolution committee finalised its work on the day of the conference, and we had to call the affected branches to [inform them whether or not to] come to the conference.” “There’s nothing wrong if you have a premier who is not a chairperson. That, in fact, happened when Makhura was the premier while Paul Mashatile was the chairperson.”He said no one would elbow Makhura out of his position in the provincial government.
