Durban - The provincial leaders of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal are expected to meet with their counterparts in Gauteng soon, as both provinces look to shore up allegiances ahead of the party’s national elective conference in December.

Sources say that the outcome of this meeting could determine who is put up as a candidate for treasurer-general by both provinces.

The ANC in KZN’s provincial executive committee (PEC) pronounced last week on its leadership preference, backing Dr Zweli Mkhize for president, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile for deputy, current ANC Limpopo chairperson Stanley Mathabatha for national chairperson, Phumulo Masualle for secretary-general and former Gauteng deputy chairperson and current NEC member Nomvula Mokonyane for deputy secretary-general while the treasure-general nominee has yet to be determined.
