An 11th hour legal challenge failed to prevent Cope's Western Cape congress from getting underway today.

A faction linked to Cope president Mosiuoa Lekota sought to bring an urgent high court application late last night.

However, interim provincial chairperson Mbulelo Ncedena says the judge scheduled the hearing for today and the congress began in the Cape Town Good Hope Centre earlier today.

Cope elective conference is scheduled to sit at the end of next week with current President Mosioua Lekota and his deputy Mbhazima Shilowa contesting the Presidency position.
