ANC members in Mangaung held two parallel regional conferences over the past weekend as tensions intensified ahead of the Free State conference this coming weekend.
“We are disciplined members of the ANC and exhausted all internal processes to solve our issues. However, in this region and province, we have leaders that do not listen to members of the ANC.”
The pushback is from a faction linked to suspended ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule. A former long-standing chairperson of the province, Magashule has not been replaced since his appointment to the national office in 2017. He still holds influence in some parts of the province despite being out in the cold for more than a year following his suspension.
Toki and Mathae are supporters of Mxolisi Dukwana, who is the current IPC convener and will contest for the position of provincial chairperson.
