The two-day meeting, which began on Saturday, has been engaged in discussions on the future of the provincial executive committees in KZN and Gauteng after the party’s poor performance in the 2024 national and provincial elections. Mbalula stressed that Gauteng and KZN were very important provinces for the ANC despite the significant losses in these provinces.
“In KwaZulu-Natal, we registered 17%, and then in Gauteng, it is 35%. So, it’s not only a blame game like all others would like to say.”and we’re still struggling to come back. So we don’t want what happened in the Western Cape to follow us in the two provinces. It is important that leadership take decisions and give guidance to the structures.”“Any leadership takes decisions — you are not hamstrung because people are gossiping and are talking things that are untruthful.
