#BreakingNews: #FSANC deputy chair snubs provincial conference | News Article

Free State ANC Provincial Chairperson, Thabo Manyoni, is not attending the party’s provincial conference which is underway in Parys.


He confirmed to OFM News that he is not in Parys and is not attending the conference. 

Manyoni indicated months ago that he will contest ANC provincial chairperson and Free State Premier Ace Magashule at the provincial conference, but since then several court actions and calls were launched to stop the conference. 

The Free State High Court found, after an urgent court application, that the Branch General Meetings of 29 branches of the party were illegal. The provincial conference that was set for December 1 then had to be postponed. A renewed call from within the party went up again for the conference to be postponed in order the create unity within the ANC.

A group – including some regional leadership – sent a letter to Magashule asking for a postponement. In an interview with OFM News, they also indicated that they were in discussion with ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe about their request. 

The group says that the conference cannot go ahead when the disciplinary committee of the party did not give a verdict yet on more than 80 branches.
