This, as some ANC members filed an urgent application in the High Court in Johannesburg in an attempt to interdict the conference set to take place next weekend. 

The disgruntled party members also want the court to nullify regional conferences that have taken place so far, on the grounds that the term of office of the regional executive committees had expired. 

The group – Glen Namies, Khadi Moloi, Gloria Petersen, and Mosimanegape Setlhogomi – also allege that the Branch General Meetings held to nominate members for the regional conferences were in breach of the ANC’s constitution. 

Chairperson of the ANC and the Premier of the province, Zamani Saul, who is expected to be elected for a second term, has meanwhile congratulated newly elected Regional Executive members on his social media platforms.
