The ANC’s 10th Peter Mokaba Regional Conference saw a dramatic series of events occur following the re-election of John Mpe. Mpe was re-elected the region’s Chairperson alongside Masilo Edward Paya (Deputy Chairperson), Lesiba Matsimela (Secretary), Kholofelo Lehong (Deputy Secretary), and Merriam Molala (Treasure).

However, the elective conference was not short of drama as some delegates protested against alleged bogus delegates, shortage of seats and some members walking out citing intimidation.

The City of Polokwane Mayor John Mpe was reinstated for a third term despite some regional members opposing his re-election. This comes after five party members lodged an urgent interdict to halt conference proceedings, citing unresolved branch disputes.

The interdict was dismissed by the Polokwane High Court on Thursday, allowing the conference to take place as planned. One of the delegates says, “We will report to the national office what has happened here, we can’t have the conference of the ANC where delegates can’t speak freely. We are threatened by police, we are threatened by bouncers from everywhere, even outside the country but we will raise our grievances with the leadership of the ANC at a national level. That thing is not a conference is a bogus conference.”
