BREAKING NEWS: MBALULA AXE ANC VHEMBE SECRETARY RUDZANI LIDERE OVER CONFERENCE DISCREPANCIES
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has wielded an axe against Vhembe regional secretary Rudzani Ludere, stripping him of his responsibilities of running the registration processes and finalising the preparations for the region’s elective conference.
In a letter directed to the ANC Limpopo provincial secretary Ruben Madadzhe, the Luthuli House boss has instructed the province to convene an urgent meeting on Friday, 02 May 2025, with Vhembe regional task team (RTT) to finalise amongst others things, registration of delegates.
Mbalula also ordered that the elective conference be convened on Sunday, 4 May 2025, in line with the adopted roadmap of the RTT approved by the PEC.
“You are requested to convene an urgent meeting tomorrow morning at 10h00 in Vhembe with the PEC deployees and the RTT of Vhembe to finalise the preparation of conference.
“To attend and receive all discrepancies and challenges related to the delegates records, assist the electoral committee with nominations related matters, registration of delegates to take no later than Saturday, 03 May 2025 and receive the provincial and national dispute resolution committee reports,” Mbalula said.
He further empowered the party’s national organiser, Mdu Manana and Madadzhe to assume the full responsibility of running the conference’s registration process.
These are Ludere’s responsibilities as the regional secretary. However, Mbalula’s recent pronouncement relegates him to the bench.
