Businessman Sandile Zungu has called for the re-industrialisation of KwaZulu-Natal in order to create jobs for young people.
The AmaZulu Football Club owner, who has thrown his hat in the ring for the provincial race to lead the ANC, was exclusively talking to the Daily News about his vision for the province should he be elected as party chairperson in an anticipated elective conference due next month.
Former president Jacob Zuma and former KwaZulu-Natal premier Willies Mchunu have endorsed businessman Sandile Zungu for the chairperson position in the coming ANC provincial conference.
It was revealed by Zungu during his final push campaign for the all-powerful provincial post in Ulundi on Sunday.
Addressing party supporters, Zungu said when he was approached by ANC members last year to avail himself for the position, he consulted many party leaders, including Zuma and Mchunu, who gave him the green light.
Before the rally Zungu visited Inkosi Zungu in his residence in Wela village to ask for the ancestral blessings. The inkosi gave him a cow shield as a symbol of protection from enemies.
Outlining his vision for the party, which he dubbed “Fresh Approach”, Zungu vowed to revive the ANC like he did the AmaZulu FC, saying those who approached him told him they wanted him to do to the ANC what he achieved at the club.
