The streets were lined with posters reading: “Newcastle municipality welcomes ANC delegates”.
Registration began at the Arbour Park community hall yesterrday, when delegates received an ANC-branded back pack.
Several police officers were outside the venue. Vendors were selling ANC paraphernalia and books.
Provincial secretary Sihle Zikalala said in a statement: “We are pleased that the ANC goes to this important conference very united and ready to tackle political and policy issues.
“During our provincial conference this week, we will look at political and policy issues ahead of the national policy conference in June in Johannesburg, and the elective national conference in December in Mangaung.”
He said the province, Zuma’s biggest support base and home province, was happy it would go to both national conferences united.
The provincial leadership is unlikely to change at the weekend conference, with chairperson Zweli Mkhize expected to retain his position. — Sapa.
