Sihle Zikalala confident of win second time around
The disputed KwaZulu-Natal ANC leader also slams Gwede Mantashe over ‘chaos’ tweet
Disputed KwaZulu-Natal ANC leader and MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Sihle Zikalala said he is not afraid to contest the party’s provincial elective conference. Supporters ousted chairman Senzo Mchunu and took Zikalala-led ANC provincial executive committee (PEC) — a close ally of President Jacob Zuma and his chosen successor, Nkosazana Dlamini Zulu — to the High Court in Pietermaritzburg challenging the outcome of the November 2015 ANC KZN provincial elective conference. The court ruled in their favour. During his address at the ANC cadres forum in Harding, south of KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday — where he shared a stage with ANC presidential hopeful Dlamini-Zuma – Zikalala said he would win another elective conference.
