Members of the ANC who took the KwaZulu-Natal provincial structure to court will be instituted with disciplinary action.
Following disgruntled members heading to the Pietermaritzburg high court on Friday in a bid to halt the highly anticipated conference from commencing, provincial coordinator Sihle Zikalala told members of the media that they will leave no stone unturned to hold the culprits accountable.
“The view generally from all the delegates that were here have tasked us to institute disciplinary actions against these members, we are clear on that. We will then check the conditions under which these comrades took the ANC to court,” said Zikalala.
He was speaking to members of the media on Saturday at the University of Zululand, following a closed plenary session with delegates after a decision to postpone the conference in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
Zikalala, who was expected to win the conference uncontested, said that the delegates also took a resolution for the next conference to sit in six weeks to elect new leadership, but only if the NEC agrees.
He said that the reason for the provincial conference to sit urgently, was to prepare themselves for the 2019 national elections.
“The issue is that objectively you need stability when you go to elections, you need leadership with authority [and] that has powers, not delegated powers but powers from elected structure from the ANC,” he said.
