KwaZulu-Natal, once the ANC’s largest province by membership, became a battleground after the rise of the uMkhonto weSizwe party. “We are fighting a Ferrari there with a Conquest; we need to match a Ferrari with a flying machine that moves faster in seconds,” he said.Former KwaZulu-Natal ANC secretary Bheki Mtolo has previously criticised the move, arguing that if provincial disbandment was a result of electoral failure, then the NEC itself should be dissolved, given the ANC’s national decline from 57% to 40%.
He dismissed any notion of placating rival political parties. “The time to lament and kowtow to other political parties is over.” He underscored the ANC’s historical legacy in the region, drawing inspiration from past leaders such as John Langalibalele Dube, Chief Albert Luthuli and Moses Mabhida. One of the key tasks of the new leadership is to rebuild relationships with amakhosi and faith-based organisations. Mbalula said these structures play a vital role in guiding society and should be part of the ANC’s strategy to restore unity and social cohesion.
