The African National Congress (ANC), led by its Secretary General, Comrade Fikile Mbalula, today met with the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Task Team (PTT), accompanied by NEC members deployed full-time at the National Office, to brief them on the decisions of the National Working Committee (NWC).

The KZN PTT was appointed in February 2025 with a clear mandate to rebuild and strengthen organisational structures within the framework of the ANC National Conference resolutions, the Constitution of the organisation, the ANC Elections Manifesto, and all relevant policies.

Following the conclusion of its term, the NWC undertook a comprehensive review of the PTT’s performance, informed by engagements with both the PTT and all Regional Task Teams (RTTs) across the province. Arising from this process, the NWC has taken decisions on the way forward regarding the reconfiguration of structures in KwaZulu-Natal.

At this stage, the ANC has announced the Officials of the reconstituted Provincial Task Team, with the full composition of the PTT, including Regional Task Teams, to be announced in the coming week. 

The following are accordingly announced as PTT Officials:

• Mike Mabuyakhula – Provincial Convenor

• Bongi Sithole-Moloi – 1st Deputy Provincial Convenor

• Siboniso Duma – 2nd Deputy Provincial Convenor

• James Nxumalo – Provincial Coordinator

• Siphesihle Mdaka – Deputy Coordinator

• Nomagugu Simelane – Fundraiser

The ANC expresses its profound appreciation to the outgoing team led by Comrade Jeff Radebe for steering the organisation during a difficult period, following a strategic electoral setback that saw the ANC attain approximately 40% support nationally and 17% in KwaZulu-Natal. Their contribution laid a critical foundation for organisational renewal and rebuilding.

The newly appointed PTT is entrusted with the responsibility of leading the organisation in the province

towards the 2026 Local Government Elections. In line with organisational processes, branch, regional and provincial conferences will be convened in 2027, after the Local Government Elections.

THE APPOINTMENT OF ROELF MEYER AS SOUTH AFRICA’S AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES

BY : CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE EDITOR KASiBC_AFRiCA 

LISTEN HERE @KASIBCAUDIO

The African National Congress (ANC) warmly welcomes the appointment of Mr Roelf Meyer as South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States by President Cyril Ramaphosa. This decision reflects a masterstroke strategic deployment of a seasoned negotiator, a patriot, and a committed nation-builder

whose contribution to South Africa’s democratic transition remains significant.

Mr Meyer’s role and commitment to dialogue, reconciliation and to building a united, non-racial, nonsexist and democratic South Africa is widely recognised. Beyond our borders, he has continued this work as a seasoned peace negotiator, contributing to conflict resolution processes in regions including

Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Burundi, Kosovo, Bolivia, the Basque region and the Middle East.

This appointment comes at an important moment in the evolving relationship between South Africa and the United States, one of our key economic trading partners. 

The bilateral relationship carries both significant opportunities and areas of complexity that require careful and strategic management. It is therefore essential that South Africa maintains a consistent and balanced diplomatic posture that advances our economic interests, strengthens cooperation, and navigates existing contradictions in a manner that safeguards our sovereignty, promotes mutual respect, and ensures shared benefit.

The ANC is confident that he will represent South Africa with distinction and integrity, and we extend our full support to him in this important assignment.

THE GUILTY VERDICT AGAINST EASTERN CAPE JUDGE PRESIDENT, SELBY MBENENGE

THE GUILTY VERDICT AGAINST EASTERN CAPE JUDGE PRESIDENT, SELBY MBENENGE

BY : CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE EDITOR KASiBC_AFRiCA 

LISTEN HERE @KASIBCAUDIO

The ANC Women’s League welcomes and hails the decision by the Judicial Services Commission (JSC), which found Judge Selby Mbenenge guilty of gross misconduct, effectively rendering the esteemed juror susceptible to impeachment. 

The guilty verdict against the Eastern Cape Judge President of the High Court came after the rogue justice was brought before the JSC, on allegations of pursuing unwanted sexual advances towards a junior staffer between 2021 and 2022. 

An earlier recommendation from the Judicial Conduct Tribunal cleared Judge Mbenenge of sexual harassment, while acknowledging some degree of misconduct, however the reputable JSC concurred with the ANC Women’s League maiden sentiment, that the Eastern Cape Judge President committed an act of gross misconduct. 

The ANC Women’s League has always been on the side of the victim, and we feel vindicated by this judgement, particularly the fact that the victim can finally get closure from an ordeal of an unprecedented public court of opinion, and high level of arrogance from the very person who is supposed to protect and uphold the rule of law. 

Thus, we eagerly await the process towards his impeachment to unfold, as this country’s bench cannot be adjudicated by a depraved judge who thinks they are above the law without the probity to uphold the constitutional values and the moral superiority of our judiciary. 

The ANC Women’s League stands firmly with all survivors of sexual harassment and violence, advocating for their voices to be heard and respected, and in this instance, we call on our legislators to move with speed in bringing this matter to a close.

THE REGRESSION OF AUDIT OUTCOMES IN THE CITY OF EKURHULENI

THE REGRESSION OF AUDIT OUTCOMES IN THE CITY OF EKURHULENI

BY : CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE EDITOR KASiBC_AFRiCA 

LISTEN HERE @KASIBCAUDIO

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Gauteng expresses serious concern over the regression in audit outcomes in the City of Ekurhuleni for the 2024/25 financial year. According to the Auditor-General’s report, the City received a qualified audit opinion with material findings.

A qualified audit opinion is issued when an institution’s financial statements contain material misstatements, indicating weak financial management and the potential for irregularities and corruption.

This outcome represents a clear regression from previous audit results achieved when the EFF was entrusted with financial oversight in the City. This regression must be understood against the backdrop of the ANC in Ekurhuleni removing the EFF MMC for Finance under the false promise of improved performance and a clean audit outcome.

These developments further reinforce the EFF’s long-held position that the executive changes were driven by narrow political interests rather than performance considerations.

The Auditor-General further highlighted significant irregular expenditure arising from the contravention of supply chain management and preferential procurement regulations. The report also raises serious concern over material losses from traffic fines, amounting to R2.74 billion in impairment, which constitutes 82% of total traffic fines.

Additionally, the City recorded R858.4 million in technical electricity losses–energy lost before reaching end users due to poor infrastructure–and R2.2 billion in non-technical losses. These include losses resulting from administrative failures, negligence, electricity theft, meter tampering, and illegal connections.

The audit findings further reveal that although corrective action plans were developed to address prior audit findings, these were not implemented by the relevant levels of management. This reflects a serious failure of leadership and underscores the incompetence within the department responsible for Strategy, Monitoring and Performance in the City of Ekurhuleni.

Of grave concern is the City’s over-reliance on revenue collection from water and electricity to fund service delivery. The failure to maintain infrastructure and ensure effective metering systems severely undermines revenue collection and threatens the City’s ability to deliver basic services.

The EFF condemns the deteriorating state of governance and financial management in the City of Ekurhuleni under the current misleadership of the Executive Mayor. Rather than providing decisive leadership, the Mayor remains preoccupied with hollow political manoeuvres and self-serving publicity campaigns.

The EFF Caucus in the City of Ekurhuleni will intensify its oversight role to hold both the executive and the administration accountable. Public funds must not be misused to enrich individuals at the expense of service delivery to the people.

TSHWANE TO TABLE PUBLIC PROTECTOR REPORT AND ACT AGAINST CITY MANAGER

TSHWANE TO TABLE PUBLIC PROTECTOR REPORT AND ACT AGAINST CITY MANAGER

BY : CHANON LECODEY MERRICKS ONLINE EDITOR KASiBC_AFRiCA

LISTEN HERE @KASIBCAUDIO

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Gauteng calls on the City of Tshwane to urgently table the Public Protector’s report on maladministration before Council and make its full contents public without delay.

On the 31st of March 2026, the Public Protector released to the City, a report in relation to an investigation into allegations of irregularities in the recruitment and selection process followed by the functionaries of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and its Council in the appointment of Mr Moshema Mosia to the position of Chief of Emergency Services. The complaint on this matter was submitted to the Public Protector in October of 2023.

This report exposes serious failures at the highest level of the City’s administration, particularly implicating the City Manager, Mr Johann Mettler, who, as chairperson of the selection panel, presided over a flawed and irregular recruitment process.

The Public Protector found that the City Manager failed to ensure compliance with mandatory recruitment regulations, including the proper verification of qualifications, reference checks, and criminal vetting prior to interviews. These failures constitute maladministration and improper conduct, and fundamentally undermine the principles of transparency, fairness, and accountability in public administration.

The report further makes it clear that consequence management must follow, and that the City must take decisive action against those responsible, including the City Manager, and report back on the steps taken. Any attempt to suppress or selectively present this report would amount to a direct attack on accountability and democratic oversight.

The EFF in Gauteng has consistently raised concerns regarding irregularities in appointments within the City of Tshwane, and this report vindicates our long-standing position. We have been proven correct: the process was deeply flawed, and the leadership of the City failed in its duty to uphold the law.

The EFF therefore demands the following:

• That the full Public Protector report be tabled before Council immediately;

• That a transparent process of accountability and consequence management be instituted against the City Manager and all implicated officials;

• That concrete measures be implemented to ensure that such irregularities do not occur again.

The EFF will not allow the erosion of governance through secrecy and administrative misconduct. We remain committed to fighting for clean, accountable, and lawful governance in the City of Tshwane.
