Princess Faku elected ANC Regional Chairperson of Dr WB Rubusana region

Former African National Congress (ANC) Member of Parliament (MP) and current Deputy Mayor of the Buffalo City Metro, Princess Faku has been elected as the new regional chairperson of the Dr WB Rubusana region in the Eastern Cape.

Faku emerged uncontested during the region’s fourth elective conference after those who were vying for the position declined to contest.

The conference saw three women being elected to the top five. It also saw its Regional Secretary Antonio Carels being elected for a second term, also uncontested.
