ANC to deploy more senior leaders to 'strengthen' KZN

ANC national leaders will deploy additional national executive committee (NEC) members to capacitate the KwaZulu-Natal executive before the 2024 elections.

ANC national working committee (NWC) members visited party structures in the province’s 11 regions and met the provincial executive committee (PEC) this past weekend. 

“The deployment of NEC members is to strengthen our capacity in KwaZulu-Natal, getting comrades to come and work here to reinforce those who are already here. This will include comrades who come from this province to work for a decisive ANC victory in the province,” secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said on Monday.

Mbalula emphasised the need to revamp the party to deliver on cohesion against infighting, purging, patronage and perceptions of corruption. 

“All those issues we will address with the PEC. We abhor incompetence at the political level and say we are stable but there is room for improvement.
