Fears over the potential collapse of the ANC Limpopo provincial conference before take-off have been allayed with the province certain to convene for three days this weekend.
Mathabatha’s deputy Basikopo Makamu said the two conferences were not “joined at the hip” and each would proceed without interrupting the other if such a decision is endorsed by the provincial executive committee.
“Their delegation meant for the provincial conference will be registered. Once the leadership decides whether they go on with their regional conference, they will have to register for the regional conference using different delegates.” Of these, the Vhembe region will send the biggest delegation of 270. The Norman Mashabane region comes second with 10 delegates fewer than Vhembe, while the Peter Mokaba region will have 219 delegates represented. Sekhukhune region will be represented by 211 voting delegates. Waterberg will send the smallest group, at 140.
The Limpopo ANC executive expressed confidence that the conference will run smoothly and expects the new top five to be announced on Saturday morning.
