A province run by personal politics - what to expect from the ANC KZN conference

Sunday Times Politics Weekly

This weekend, the ANC in KwaZulu Natal holds its provincial conference, as part of the build up to the all-important ANC national Conference in December, which will, among other things choose a new leader for the organisation – and by extension, the new leader of the country.
On the Politics Weekly this time we look at the significance of the conference, and also at the key players and factions squaring up. We consider important questions such as what kind of support is president Cyril Ramaphosa likely to receive, the hold former president Jacob Zuma has over the area and the framing of KZN's political landscape in 2022.
