DURBAN — The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has taken aim at Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, saying his recent conduct not only undermined traditions of the ANC but is also divisive.

ANC leaders in the province are furious that Ramaphosa did not inform them of his engagements in the province in line with ANC tradition.

The matter was discussed at the provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting on Monday. The PEC decided that the matter be referred to the party’s national executive committee (NEC).

Provincial secretary Super Zuma said the provincial leadership felt Ramaphosa had “blatantly undermined a long-standing tradition of the movement” by not informing local party leaders of his engagements in the province.

The engagements, which infuriated provincial leaders include Ramaphosa’s attendance of a “cadres forum” organised by the South African National Civics Organisation (Sanco) and his recent visit to the Shembe Church.

The Sanco meeting, held on April 28, was also attended by former KwaZulu-Natal premier Senzo Mchunu and former MEC Mike Mabuyakhulu.

The two former provincial leaders of the party are seen as the key backers of Ramaphosa in the province.

On Tuesday last week, Mchunu also accompanied Ramaphosa during his visit to the Shembe Church in Empangeni.— The Mercury
