Durban - The provincial spokesperson of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has called on party members in the province to “disabuse themselves of the notion that the province must be guaranteed” a Top Six position in the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).

This as branch members are expected to start the nomination process for NEC members on September 7 and ahead of the December elective conference.

The NEC is the party’s highest decision making body and at the Nasrec elective conference in 2017, no KZN representative was included in the top structure – this was the first time that this has happened since the advent of democracy.

For some in the province, this was a source of discontent as the province is powerful in terms of membership numbers and influence with other provinces.
