DURBAN – Lindiwe Sisulu’s campaign to be elected as ANC president in the 55th national conference next year has begun in earnest.

The Daily News has learnt that Sisulu’s name has been raised by various regions and sub-regions across the length and breadth of the country. She was also apparently being backed by Women’s League regional structures which could end up getting a nod from their national Women’s League structure.

In the Western Cape she is said to be enjoying big support from the Boland, Karoo and Overberg regions. Her Boland backer Patrice Mangena said the region was fully behind her and would make sure, working with others, she gets elected as the first ANC woman president in the 55th elective conference next year.
