ANC KWA ZULU-NATAL RESHUFFLE @KASIBCNEWS 

 The African Natonal Congress (ANC) commends our structures and members in KwaZulu-Natal for their discipline and unwavering commitment to the movement while awai ng the resolu ons of the Natonal Executve Commi ee (NEC). This patence and politcal maturity are a testament to the enduring legacy of ANC leadership in the province, which has produced stalwarts such as John Langalibalele Dube, Chief Albert Luthuli, Isaka Pixley Ka Seme, Harry Gwala, RD Naidu, and Moses Mabhida. These icons exemplified resilience, unity, and a deep-rooted dedication to the cause of libera on and transformation. 

Today, our cadres in KwaZulu-Natal continue in their footsteps, demonstrating that the centre has indeed held. The ANC remains resolute in its mission to build and strengthen the organisa on in this key province, ensuring that we are prepared for the batles ahead. Our movement has faced formidable challenges, yet through collective resolve and adherence to organisa onal discipline, we have consistently emerged stronger. 

The reconfiguration of the provincial leadership is a decisive interveotion to reinforce our structures, renew the movement, and consolidate our presence in a province that plays a crucial role in the political and economic trajectory of South Africa. 

The NEC, during its mngting on 18–19 January 2025, reaffirmed the strategic importance of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in the national transformation agenda. These two provinces not only have the largest populations but also hold significant economic weight, making them critical to the country’s development. 

Recognising the electoral setbacks of 2024, the NEC undertook an extensive and reflective discussion on the state of organisation , renewal, and rebuilding efforts, with the unity of the ANC as the primary objective. The NEC received a comprehensive report from the National Working Committee (NWC), presented by the Secretary General, detailing the challenges faced by the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal. The intervention approved by the NEC seeks to strengthen the movement by integrating experienced leadership with a renewed commitment to political education , organisational discipline, and grassroots mobilisation. This approach ensures that the ANC remains the vanguard of progressive change in the province and across the country. 

Following rigorous debate, the NEC resolved that decisive action was imperative, and a passive approach was not an option. The reconfiguration of leadership in KwaZulu-Natal aligns with Rule 12.2.2, 12.2.3, and 12.2.4 of the ANC Constitution , which empowers the NEC to take necessary steps to ensure the effective functioning of provincial structures. Furthermore, Rule 12.1.4 empowers the NEC to take any appropriate measures to advance the interests of the ANC, including the appointment of interim structures where necessary. 

The establishment of the Provincial Task Team (PTT) is in accordance with Rule 12.1.1, which mandates the NEC to ensure the democratic and effec ve functioning of all ANC structures. This intervention, framed within the constitutional mandate of the NEC, reinforces the principles of unity, renewal, and organisational rebuilding. 

The ANC draws strength from the legacy of KwaZulu-Natal luminaries such as John Langalibalele Dube, Chief Albert Luthuli, Pixley Isaka Ka Seme, Moses Mabhida, Florence Mkhize, Dr. Yusuf Dadoo, Harry Gwala, RD Naidu, Stalwart Simelane, Fama Meer, Griffith & Victoria Mxenge, and Bertha Mkhize, who dedicated their lives to the struggle for freedom and justice. Their sacrifices remind us of the importance of unity, discipline, and selfless service as we work to strengthen our movement and reclaim our role as the trusted leader of transforma on. 

The Provincial Task Team (PTT) is established as the interim structure to oversee the stabilisation  of the organisation, drive political education , and work towards the revitalisation of ANC branches across the province. Additionally, the PTT is mandated to revive relations with Amakhosi and faith-based communities, Amabandla, recognising that these institutions played a foundational role in the birth and evolution of the ANC.

The ANC acknowledges the historical and moral authority of these structures in guiding our society and affirms the need to strengthen our collaboration to advance unity, social cohesion, and transformation.
