Mokonyane says ANC will assess Eastern Cape situation after NWC visit
Party members in the province have raised their dissatisfaction following the candidate lists issues
African National Congress (ANC) First Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane has stated that the party will evaluate the Eastern Cape's situation following its National Working Committee (NWC) visit to the province. Many households in the region rely on backyard tenants for income, but Mokonyane believes these arrangements should be formalized and declared, with ward committees kept informed.
Party members in the province have expressed their dissatisfaction with the candidate list due to technical glitches preventing them from uploading candidates to the Independent Electoral Commission's (IEC) Online Candidate Nomination System (OCNS). Additionally, there is a legal challenge by ANC NEC Member Andile Lungisa against party Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, regarding his removal from the proportional representation candidate list.
The NWC will conclude its visit on Wednesday. During a campaign stop in Ivory Park, Mokonyane emphasized that upon their return, the ANC will conduct a thorough assessment of the Eastern Cape's issues, listen to the people, share the ANC's processes, and rise above personal conflicts to save the party.
