The ANC in the Western Cape has elected Vuyiso Tyhalisisu as the new provincial chairperson.<\/p>\n
Tyhalisisu defeated ANC MPL Cameron Dugmore.<\/p>\n
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said party structures were now holding their last conferences before the elections next year.<\/p>\n
He said the ANC Youth League will hold its conference from June 30 to July 4 and it will be followed by the Women\u2019s League and Veterans League conferences in July.<\/p>\n
The ANC will then start preparing for the elections next year.<\/p>\n
In the Western Cape the contest was tight, but Tyhalisisu managed to get elected leader.<\/p>\n
Sharon Davids was elected deputy chairperson, Neville Delport was elected provincial secretary and Ayanda Bans is the new deputy provincial secretary.<\/p>\n
The ANC delegates voted Derek Appels as the provincial treasurer. Appels was elected into the position unopposed.<\/p>\n
The ANC had been run by the interim provincial committee for the last four years.<\/p>\n
The National Executive Committee had disbanded the provincial executive committee in 2019.<\/p>\n
The work of the IPC ended at the weekend after the new leadership was elected.<\/p>\n
When the ANC went into its national conference last December, the Western Cape had not gone into conference after delays.<\/p>\n
However, eventually the party managed to have it this weekend and some of the regions still have to have their own regional conferences.<\/p>\n
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to close the provincial conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mbalula had opened it on Saturday after it could not start on time on Friday following other delays.<\/p>\n
