KZN ANC task team a recipe for more disaster
25 January 2018
The appointment of an ANC provincial task team to run KwaZulu-Natal for the next few months is a recipe for disaster and is set to further destabilise governance whilst further fuelling party factionalism. The team was announced at a briefing called by the party's national executive committee on Tuesday afternoon.
It is clear that the ANC in KZN has become so self-absorbed with its own internal power struggles that it has lost focus of its mandate which is to improve the lives of the people of our province.
The current lack of leadership and focus by the ANC within KZN is unprecedented. Meanwhile the imbalance created by the appointment of more members from illegitimate PEC Chairperson, Sihle Zikalala’s faction to the task team is likely to intensify ongoing internal battles.
This is further aggravated by the inclusion of former KZN cabinet members who were fired by the illegitimate administration. Certainly, they will have an axe to grind and are likely to be more interested in their own political agenda’s than the needs of the people of KZN.
