Ramaphosa loses North West to rival Zweli Mkhize - Cyril Ramaphosa and his allies cruised through the ballot for presidential nominations with an almost 55% lead over Mkhize, but on the eve of the nominations, North West switched its allegiance.
Ramaphosa’s efforts to win support from North West and votes at the ANC’s 55th elective conference have proved to be futile as the province has changed sides.
In a recording from a breakaway session at the conference, ANC KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Siboniso Duma is heard calling delegates, including those from North West, to “come closer” so they can start the roll call. The fate of the ANC lies in the hands of more than 4 500 party members who have voting powers at its conference.
Nono Maloyi, ANC North West chairperson, is heard in a recording in the meeting with Kwazulu-Natal delegates supporting Duma’s sentiments that they should throw their lot in with Mkhize.
