ANC's South Coast intervention not related to support for Ramaphosa - Zikalala
Johannesburg – The KwaZulu-Natal ANC’s chairperson has rejected claims that South Coast branch leaders were stripped of their powers for backing Cyril Ramaphosa to become ANC president.
Sihle Zikalala said on Monday that the move had nothing to do with ANC’s elective conference in December.
"I think people are peddling their own propaganda for their own cause and to justify whatever interests."
He said the provincial executive committee (PEC) took over certain regions in order to allow the organisation to function smoothly.
Zikalala was speaking to journalists in Boksburg, a day after he and other provincial leaders told South Coast branch leaders they were being stripped of their powers.
