I just have 2 points

√so Zuma started to speak I changed the channel, came back 3 hours later and he was still talking, then watched a movie and came back, the conference was postponed because there were some provinces who were told that they can't attend were sitting in the room.

√Can anything ever go smoothly for the ANC ?
 
You missed this part: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/art...alvos-at-critics-blames-everyone-but-himself/

In his final report as [ANC] President, ‘humble’ Zuma fires salvos at critics, blames everyone but himself

Edit: And this weird statement: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/very-honest-jacob-zuma-denies-backing-dlamini-zuma-20171215

President Jacob Zuma has described himself as a "very honest politician" and denied that he wanted to influence the outcome of the ANC elective conference in Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma's favour.

JOHANNESBURG - The decision to exclude KwaZulu-Natal, the Free State and the North West from voting will most likely have an impact on the support for Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma.

The three province rallied behind Dlamini Zuma leading up to the conference.

Delegates who are still making their way in say they don’t think the decision will affect them. Both camps supporting Dlamini Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa believe they have the numbers.

Oros Maine on ENCA ....the most painful thing you can watch today. From the get go ENCA apparently "has an agenda trying to influence how the ANC should run their congress" :rolleyes:

Poorly written article, much better version elsewhere. Only the nullified delegates from those provinces will be barred from voting:
https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...ence-mantashe-on-nullified-delegates-20171216

The affected provincial and regional ANC executives who were nullified by recent court judgments will not vote at the ANC's national elective conference, secretary general Gwede Mantashe says.

Mantashe and party spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told the media on Saturday that the party's national executive committee resolved to err on the side of caution over the nullified provinces and region.

"The chairs have been bolted to the floor"

Lol!

They need a referee there. You know there is going to be fighting, so they might as well hire a referee to limit the use of chairs and other objects.

I would say that the referee should try to limit below the belt shots, but that is all the ANC can do, so no point in limiting that.
 
Credentials adopted, ANC conference to continue as scheduled

JOHANNESBURG - Credentials have now been adopted at the African National Congress (ANC)'s national conference at Nasrec in southern Johannesburg.

This is a big moment for the elective conference and means that the programme will now continue as scheduled after long delays and allegations of bogus delegates and problems with registrations.

A total of 4,776 delegates are set to cast their ballots for the next ANC president.
