ANC has postponed its national executive committee (NEC) meeting amid fears of violence in KwaZulu-Natal as former President Jacob Zuma’s supporters gather outside his home in order to defend him.
The NEC
meeting was scheduled to take place over the next three days.
The party’s
deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte announced the decision taken by ANC top
officials in a statement on Friday afternoon.
She said
they were mindful of the situation developing in KwaZulu-Natal
In her
statement on Friday, Secretary General Duarte said officials understood the
need to give clear and principled leadership to ensure the maintenance of the
rule of law and to avoid violence, injury and loss of life
There has
been rising tension in some quarters of Zuma’s home province since he was
handed 15-month jail sentence by the Constitutional Court for being in contempt
of court.
