But Cyril Ramaphosa won the ANC presidency in 2017 without eThekwini’s support. The exact numbers of delegates for December have not been clarified. Gumede may step aside in accordance with an ANC directive, but there will be multiple legal contests in the build-up to the ANC’s December elective conference.The process of deciding who votes in December includes audits to determine which branches may send delegates.Following allegations of vote-rigging at the party’s 2012 and 2017 national conferences, a new digitised system was introduced.
At this stage, it is not clear how many branch meetings have received the all-clear, nor how many delegates each province will be allowed in December.There may be more politically inspired violence between rivals. Indeed, disputes could even collapse or delay the December conference.As we have seen, Zuma’s legal team made a link between him and the July riots, which led to the deaths of more than 300 people.
