Regional committees disbanded in KZN as ANC rings the changes

AFTER reconfiguring the provincial executive committee four months ago to rebuild structures following last year’s humiliating defeat, the KwaZulu-Natal ANC leadership has disbanded regional executive committees across the province, which will be replaced with task teams.

The decision was made recently, and the process was expected to kick off in KwaDukuza, where the party's national leadership was expected to announce the members who would form the regional task team on Monday.

ANC provincial spokesperson Fanle Sibisi confirmed that the party had decided to disband the regions, adding that most of them, if not all, have had their terms lapsed.

“Yes, the process will affect all the regions, and we hope by the end of the month, we will have finished the process,” said Sibisi.

He said the party has not decided whether it will allow the regions to go to their elective conferences before next year’s local government elections or hold conferences after.
