The Free State African National Congress (ANC) provincial conference is currently underway. The conference has got off to a slow start in Parys. The conference that was supposed to have been held earlier in the year was postponed several times over internal squabbles.
ANC Free State Chairperson Ace Magashule delivered a political report. He spoke out against white Monopoly Capital and those stifling efforts to radically transform the economy.
The Free State Provincial Elective conference is highly contested.
Last week the High Court in Bloemfontein halted the convening of the conference after claims of irregularities in at least 29 branches.
Some members are boycotting the conference, whilst others are intending to file a court challenge.
Chairs are bound with cable ties, perhaps to avoid a repeat of the Eastern Cape.
Free State Chairperson and Premier Ace Magashule wants to retain his position after 23 years at the helm. But he is challenged by his deputy Thabo Manyoni.
Magashule has also been nominated for National Secretary General.
