Disgruntled ANC members take to the streets as factional fights mount

Thousands of disgruntled ANC members in the Moses Mabhida region protested in Pietermaritzburg on Monday, calling for the removal of the regional executive.

Gumede is on R50,000 bail after she was arrested three months ago with eight others in connection with the awarding of a R208m tender in 2016. The regional executive committee was disbanded last September and was replaced by the task team. Protesters said that when they confronted the provincial executive committee about the task team, they were persuaded to allow it to oversee the campaign ahead of the May 8 general election.

“The term of office of this task team was supposed to have come to an end in last November, but they persuaded us that we must allow it to conduct the campaign,” Nkuna said.
