WATCH: Crowds chant in support of Cyril Ramaphosa at Gamalakhe ANC cadre’s meeting
Earlier this month, the PEC stripped the LSC REC of its powers, reportedly because of their support for the deputy president.
DEPUTY president Cyril ‘The Buffalo’ Ramaphosa is expected to address ANC members at the Lower South Coast Region’s cadres meeting taking place right now at Gamalakhe College.
Mr Ramaphosa is said to be stuck at a closed meeting between the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and the Regional Executive Comitte (REC), being held to discuss the region’s appeal to have the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC)’s decision to strip the REC of its powers overturned.
His supporters are chanting as they wait for him to arrive.
