ANCs Eastern Cape Conference Postponed: Legal Challenge & Internal Power Play
The ANCs Eastern Cape provincial conference, initially set for March 27th, has been postponed indefinitely. This decision aligns with a directive from ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula, who reviewed legal issues and party rules. The conference was challenged in court by three ANC members from Buffalo City metro, who argued that the province did not meet the seventy percent branch threshold required to proceed. Acting judge Babalo Metu ruled in their favor, citing the need for the party to follow its own constitution and guidelines. The ANC, its provincial executive committee, and Mbalula were ordered to pay legal costs, but an appeal has been filed. Meanwhile, an ANC provincial spokesperson has called the decision to postpone the conference mischievous, as no such PEC decision exists yet. The provincial executive committee is set to meet on Saturday to discuss the matter further, promising more twists in this internal power play.
