Western Cape ANC secretary Neville Delport has warned the incoming leadership of the Cape metro region that the structure he leads will have the final say on party issues.
The region – named after Abdullah Mohamed Omar, the late anti-apartheid activist, lawyer and the first justice minister of a democratic South Africa – is the ANC’s largest in the Western Cape in terms of membership and population, but it has been declining in recent years.
A region that was once a force to be reckoned with in party politics, the ANC’s Dullah Omar Region in the Cape Town metro, has become frail and is racing against time trying to return to its glory days.
Seen as a rare silver lining in the dark ANC cloud, Mdumiseni Ntuli is known for his good articulation of ANC programmes and is a former ANC KwaZulu-Natal provincial secretary.
