KZN ANC branches in a race to get ready for conferences

THE ANC in KwaZulu-Natal could go to the local government elections this year with an interim regional and provincial leadership, following their apparent failure to get more than 800 branches ready to elect new leadership.

According to the latest roadmap, which has been revised several times, the party’s 11 regions are expected to elect their leadership by April 7, however, several regional and branch leaders, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no region is likely to meet this deadline. The April 7 deadline was meant to pave the way for the provincial conference which is expected to take place at end of April.
