Zandile Gumede to contest in eThekwini conference | IOL News

Durban - The ANC in KZN has started to prepare for the much-anticipated eThekwini regional conference where ousted former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede is expected to throw her hat into the ring.

However, the process has been hampered by demands by one of the factions in the region to reconstitute the regional task team that was put in place in July. The faction that is sympathetic to Gumede alleges that the task team which is preparing for the conference is heavily staffed with her opponents, who are weakening her by stripping party members - perceived to be loyal to her - of their membership.

But Mthembu said despite the task team concerns, the first phase of the road map which is membership renewal, has already been done and the next phase will be auditing the membership database. As the party is expecting to face angry communities ahead of the 2021 local government elections, Mthembu said they would like to ensure that all the outstanding regional conferences in the eThekwini , Moses Mabhida, Lower South Coast and General Gizenga Mpanza regions are convened by December this year.
