ANC Limpopo have refuted the reports that they are now throwing their weight behind Zweli Mkhize for the presidency.
They were one of the provinces to endorse a second term for Cyril Ramaphosa. The ANC’s 55th conference is underway at Nasrec in Johannesburg.
Current President Cyril Ramaphosa and former health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize are neck and neck in the race for party president.
Videos clips have also surfaced with deputy Provincial Chairperson Florence Radzilani seemingly endorsing Mkhize for the hot seat.
But the ANC moved swiftly to reaffirm their support for Ramaphosa saying it is a decision made by their branches.
ANC LIMPOPO PEC SUPPORT OUTCOMES OF ANC BRANCH GENERAL MEETINGS.
“The ANC Limpopo PEC has noted some statements making rounds in various media platforms. Wherein an unfortunate impression was created that we have deserted the outcomes of Branch General Meetings,” read the statement.
“The ANC Limpopo PEC hereby distances itself from such an assertion. It is not a true reflection of the ANC PEC decision and or Branch General Meetings. At no stage the ANC Limpopo PEC met and decided along those lines.”
“The ANC Limpopo Province stands by its decision and also supports the outcomes of Limpopo BGM’S which affirmed Cde Cyril Ramaphosa for President. Paul Mashatile : Deputy President, Cde Ndumiseni Ntuli: Secretary General, Cde Nomvula Mokonyane : Deputy Secretary General, Chauke Bejani: Treasurer General. And Cde Stanley Mathabatha as the preferred National Chairperson.
“We further urge all delegates from Limpopo and beyond to exercise their right to elect leadership in accordance with the Mandate of their respective branches.”
