JOHANNESBURG - After months of talking about reconfiguring its executives in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the African National Congress 's secretary-general will on Tuesday unveil those handpicked to help resuscitate the party in KZN.The advent of former President Jacob Zuma's uMkhonto weSizwe Party has battered the ANC in KZN, with several national leaders pushing for urgent intervention ahead of the 2026 local government polls.
The party, in a bid to rejig the leadership of the province, has taken its time, even facing resistance from within but it pushed on, informing both KZN and Gauteng that this process would be finalised this week. Insiders have claimed that Sboniso Duma will remain influential while his secretary, Bheki Mtolo, is expected to just be an ordinary member of the task team.
