The ANC in Luthuli House has confirmed that the party's top six yesterday met with a group of Eastern Cape members disputing last year's chaotic provincial conference.
The group which supported then provincial chair Phumulo Masualle to retain his position yesterday headed for the governing party's head office to seek clarity on the implementation of the Sbu Ndebele task team established to investigate the violence that broke out at the East London ICC chair-throwing conference.
The group lodged an appeal against the provincial executive committee (PEC) elected from the controversial conference as led by new chairman Oscar Mabuyane who emerged after the chair throwing sent hundreds of delegates packing to watch the conference from outside.
ANC national spokesman Pule Mabe today in a statement said the meeting was ‘constructive’.
“The meeting was constructive and the comrades accepted the advice by the national officials to await the proper processing of the report by the National Executive Committee (NEC),” said Mabe. The NEC meeting is scheduled for March 24-27.
The Dispatch had previously reported that the Ndebele report was recommending the disbandment of the PEC and reconvening of the provincial conference within three months.
Among those who attended the Luthuli House meeting with the ANC top six were Masualle himself, former PEC members Andile Lungisa, Mlibo Qoboshiyane, Nancy Sihlwayi and Thandiswa Marawu.
