The African National Congress says the registration of delegates at its 55th National Conference in Ormonde south of Johannesburg will soon be completed. Party president Cyril Ramaphosa’s opening address was re-scheduled from nine am to some time Friday afternoon.

Hundreds of delegates have been waiting since early this morning to get accreditation for the conference. Some delegates say they arrived on Thursday but left empty-handed. ANC NEC member Pemmy Majodina is among the delegates at the UNISA conference centre. She says this means the conference which was scheduled to start at 10am may be delayed.

“There was a mix-up in terms of their photos, that is why now the registration centre has opened to allow members to register again. We want to apologise for all the mishaps as the NEC. But the system also collapsed because this is the biggest conference ever in the history of the ANC. There will be slight delays, we cannot start when you have voting delegates who are supposed to be accredited that are still outside they are waiting for their accreditation.
