The newly elected provincial executive committee of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal and NEC members deployed to the province have been at odds over whether President Cyril Ramaphosa will give the closing remarks at the conference or not on Sunday. | JKwritingz
There was a bone of contention regarding whether President Cyril Ramaphosa should give the closing remarks at the KwaZulu-Natal conference. This is as Jacob Zuma's allies suffered a political blow when Sihle Zikalala lost the vote.
The new chairperson, Sboniso Duma, and secretary Bheki Mtolo were said to be standing firm in that the closing address should be given by the chairperson and not Ramaphosa. Those who opposed to Ramaphosa's presence at the end of the conference argued an ANC NEC member should only give opening remarks as party policy states no one may speak after the ANC president has spoken.
He went on to say Ramaphosa had informed him because of other engagements, the president said he would not be able to address the gathering.
