ANC Bigwigs Hold Vital Meeting

"Unethical Issues": Limpopo Chair to Step Down

- Itumeleng Mafisa

The ANC in Limpopo will meet the party's secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, today to iron out their problems.

This comes after the province's chair, Stan Mathabatha, sent a letter to Luthuli House on Monday indicating his desire to step down from his duties.

Mathabatha raised concerns about the manner in which some regional conferences had been carried out, including "unethical behaviour" in the party.

He particularly complained about the conferences in Vhembe and Waterberg.

Yesterday, the ANC national office confirmed that Mbalula has been tasked with handling the challenges in Limpopo.

"In his correspondence, Mathabatha raised concerns about misconduct, the erosion of ANC values and processes relating to conferences," said national ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri.

"Following receipt of the letter, the secretary-general of the ANC, Fikile Mbalula, has convened a meeting with Mathabatha to deliberate on the issues raised.
