With Pongola’s backing, Zweli Mkhize now has two ANC regions’ endorsement
ANC branches in Pongola, in the north of KwaZulu-Natal, have endorsed the party’s treasurer-general, Zweli Mkhize, as a compromise candidate to lead the party and SA. This is the second endorsement for Mkhize ahead of the December ANC elective conference, after one from the Alfred Nzo region in the Eastern Cape. The ANC nomination process formally opens on Friday, but former African Union Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, ministers Lindiwe Sisulu and Jeff Radebe, Mkhize, and his predecessor as party treasurer, Mathews Phosa, have received nominations to enter the presidential race.
