The recently disbanded African National Congress Women’s League in KwaZulu-Natal has displayed unwavering defiance, asserting that they are still in office despite the disbandment. This bold stance follows the establishment of a provincial task team aimed at leading the league after the disbandment was officially announced. The situation has ignited a fresh wave of internal strife within the ANC.
The controversy surrounding the disbanded Women’s League began when the national leadership of the ANC decided to dissolve the provincial leadership amid allegations of irregularities. This move, which was intended to restore unity and transparency within the league, has now sparked a power struggle that threatens to deepen divisions within the party.
Members of the ANC Women’s League in KwaZulu-Natal who remain defiant argue that the newly formed provincial task team is comprised of individuals who suffered defeat at the league’s elective conference. This, they claim, is a clear indication that the disbandment was motivated by personal vendettas rather than a genuine commitment to the organisation’s well-being.
On the other hand, those who support the disbandment decision argue that it was necessary to address deep seated issues within the ANC Women’s League in the province. They emphasise the importance of maintaining the integrity of the organisation and averting further internal strife that could potentially harm the ANC’s broader political agenda.
The national leadership of the ANC has yet to comment on the ongoing controversy. This situation underscores the challenges the party faces in maintaining internal cohesion, particularly in the face of factionalism and power struggles at the regional and provincial levels.
As the ANC struggles with internal discord in KwaZulu-Natal, it remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved and what impact it may have on the ANC’s political influence in the region. It is clear that the ANC Women’s League remains divided, raising questions about the party’s ability to unite its various factions and present a unified front ahead of upcoming elections.
