Eastern Cape ANC also stands behind Ramaphosa's ANC presidency campaign, slams 'wedge drivers'
15 August 2019
There was no party policy transgression in the organisational lobbying processes leading up to the ANC's 2017 Nasrec national elective conference, Eastern Cape secretary Lulama Ngcukayitobi said on Thursday.
The Eastern Cape ANC executive released a statement backing president Cyril Ramaphosa's campaign for the ANC presidency, known as CR17, amid the national debate on campaign financing.
Their support comes two days after the KwaZulu-Natal ANC also came out in support of under-fire Ramaphosa, saying earlier this week that the "sustained public assault" was intended to weaken the party.
Ramaphosa has been in the public glare after Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that there was merit in allegations of money laundering in his campaign.
