Mnchunu supporters march on ANC Durban offices

Displeased ANC members marched the ANC offices this afternoon to hand over a memorandum expressing their displeasure of the ousting of Premier Senzo Mchunu at the party's provincial chairman earlier this month.

HUNDREDS of displeased ANC members lined Botha Park on Monday morning, dancing, toyi-toying and singing the praises of KZN Premier Senzo Mchunu.

The throngs of supporters gathered to march to the ANC provincial offices to hand over a memorandum to the ANC leadership.

Many supporters told Berea Mail they supported Senzo Mchunu and were not happy with the ANC’s KwaZulu-Natal elective conference outcome, which saw Sihle Zikalala beat Premier Senzo Mchunu to become chairperson of the party in the province.

The supporters said they were challenging the credibility of the election for the second time in two weeks. An ANC councillor who is known to Berea Mail said on condition on anonymity, “We are against the results of the conference and sent a memorandum on Monday two weeks ago, where we said the conference election was not free and fair and was biased towards Zikalala. We are here in response to the inappropriate behaviour of the current chairman who acted outside ANC principles”

The councillor explained that there was no official organiser of the march, but that it was made up of “everyone from the ANC mother body supporting Premier Senzo Mchunu.”

The councillor said the march to the ANC offices in Durban was peaceful and the memorandum, was read out at the provincial building.

This was the second march ANC members to the head offices after the ousting of Premier Senzo Mchunu as the party’s provincial chairman.
