@SABCNewsThe KwaZulu-Natal African National Congress secretary Bheki Mtolo has dismissed claims that the province’s influence is declining, particularly at the party’s national conferences.
The province was supporting the former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize who stood for the position of ANC president against Cyril Ramaphosa. On Monday, National Executive Committee member Bheki Cele said party members in KwaZulu-Natal were to blame for failing to secure a single position among the governing party’s Top Seven for the second time in a row.This after Mtolo’s predecessor Mdumiseni Ntuli also lost to Fikile Mbalula for the position of ANC secretary-general. Mtolo says he is adamant that they still have influence.
“The influence of KwaZulu-Natal has not changed, it’s not declining. I’m failing to understand a simple thing. If you go to that conference, when you arrive there, the numbers that Mkhize goes, you can see that KZN still has a huge influence. After the pronouncement on the position of president, we swayed many people’s views in the country because we’ve got a huge influence.’’
Zuma's popularity is not enough, it's high time they let it sink in that the old man should rest, they've been parading him all over South Africa, all for what 🤷
Their main blunder is putting Zuma on the pedestal, thinking he's the best thing ever happened to this country,they must do away with that frivolous notion because it's not helping them, they're embarrassing themselves by holding onto someone who no longer adds value 🤪
These ones are fighting Zuma's political battles.
Well done KZN for showing unity even in hard times injury to one is injury to all la KwaZulu United we rise united we fall if needs be
Their first task when they get home is to remove all comrade who disrupted Ramaphosa
