Mxolisi Dukwana has been elected as the new Free State ANC provincial chairperson.
Chair of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa Terry Tsilane announced Dukwana, who garnered 346 votes, trumped his opponent Sisi Ntombela who received 306 votes at the much-anticipated provincial conference at the Imvelo Safari Lodge in Mangaung.
Reacting to the outcome, Ntombela congratulated Dukwana saying he should unite the ANC in the province."Mxolisi has now been elected as chairperson, we must just rally behind him. I heard that there are some complaints but I am waiting for a report because I don’t know what exactly happened inside there.
"At the moment he is the chairperson and we congratulate him and wish him luck and he must do all that he can to unite the Free State because if he is not able to unite the ANC, we are going to have problems towards elections." During the announcement of the results, there were a few objections with some delegates complaining about the numbers not tallying up.
