ANC threatens to cancel consultative conference
7 June 2017
Johannesburg - The ANC will cancel a two-day special consultative conference unless its stalwarts and veterans agree that it forms part of its policy conference later this month, secretary general Gwede Mantashe has said.
"If they do not accept the two days we will cancel the two days and continue with the policy conference," he told News24 on Tuesday.
The party’s veterans are wanting the ANC to hold separate policy and consultative conferences. The latter is intended for the party to discuss how to stem its loss of support.
During a meeting the ANC held with former party leaders on Saturday, they renewed their demand, Mantashe said.
