Following a meeting held by the party’s top brass in Johannesburg on Monday, the party issued a statement in which it said it had instructed the National Dispute Resolution Committee (NDRC) to continue working with the Provincial Task Team (PTT) to address the issues raised by members who interdicted the provincial conference.
Six of the party’s regions, including the Lower South Coast, had filed for an urgent court interdict stopping the conference from sitting.
Branch members from these regions said they were not happy about various processes leading up to the conferences, including suspected gate keeping, vote rigging, unfair processes and bogus membership.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) has assured ‘these’ members that their challenges would be solved.
“The PTT, working with national officials must ensure that, when the KZN provincial congress sits before end of July, it focuses on social transformation issues, organisational renewal and decisive victory in the elections,” reads the statement.
The NEC also encouraged all members to work towards unity and renewal of the organisation.
“Our objective is to unite the ANC,” reads the statement.
