Concerns are being raised about the future of the ANC leadership in KwaZulu-Natal.

The party’s provincial leadership are in the spotlight after SANCO cut ties with its alliance partner.

SANCO has historically been aligned with the ANC, South African Communist Party (SACP) and Congress of South Africa Trade Unions (COSATU).

SANCO cuts ties with KZN ANC

During a meeting of its provincial executive committee, SANCO decided to cut ties with the ANC in KZN, expressing dissatisfaction with how the party was run in the province.

In a letter to Secretary Bheki Mtolo, SANCO said that the ANC in the province was led by arrogant and factional leaders who were happy to see the alliance dying in their hands.
