This is the second time in a row that the province has come out of the ANC’s national conference empty-handed. During the 2017 conference, KZN was the focal point of the campaign of Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, but she lost to Cyril Ramaphosa by just 179 votes.
Their preferred candidate for the key secretary-general position was former Eastern Cape Premier Phumulo Masualle, who lost out to Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula. KZN provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo told journalists that the provincial leadership had fought a spirited campaign and lost. He said they accepted the outcome.Sboniso Duma, KZN ANC chairperson, had said the province would have to find a way to work with the new elected leadership, even if it consisted of people who were not the province’s preferred leaders.
“I think we [KZN] lost because we could not consolidate our position. I think this is because we were not united. If you look at other provinces, they united over names — whichever name they put forward. In KZN we did not unite, especially on the position of the secretary-general. Had all of us supported Ntuli… he would have won easily,” Ncaphalala said.
“He is very bitter. He seems to think that Ramaphosa is responsible for his recall and for all his troubles. He has been calling him names which are very unpalatable.
ANCKZN chose the most corrupt cadres. They still reek with the toxicity that this country so desperately wants the MYANC to get rid of. I mean, what do you think is going to happen when you get cadres like Zuma, Sisulu, Dlamini, Ace, and Carl backing you Come on guys!!!
