ANC leadership still deciding on North West PEC structure
The North West PEC structure was elected in Rustenburg on August 2022.
The African National Congress (ANC) is still deliberating on the structure of its North West Provincial Executive Committee (PEC), which recently concluded its term of office. This comes after the PEC held elections in August 2022 in Rustenburg. The ANC has yet to convene an early provincial conference to address the leadership vacuum, despite the party's resolution from the Provincial General Council last year.
ANC National Spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri emphasized that there is no leadership vacuum in the province, stating that the ANC has established clear processes for leadership transition. The ANC will work with national officials and the National Executive Committee to determine the appropriate way forward, according to the constitution.
SANCO, a South African organization, has called for the creation of an interim provincial structure to rebuild the ANC in the region. Mzukisi Jam, SANCO's National Spokesperson, explained that the previous leadership's internal factional battles overshadowed the province's interests. He suggested considering a Provincial Task Team (PTT) composed of new members, rather than reusing the same people from the failed PEC.
