Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ANC Eastern Cape provincial task team leaders will meet with party officials on Wednesday, ahead of the province’s crucial congress scheduled to take place over the weekend.<\/p>\n

In a letter on Tuesday, ANC Eastern Cape provincial task team coordinator Lulama Ngcukayitobi requested an urgent meeting with ANC treasurer Paul Mashatile.<\/p>\n

The letter stated that the meeting was to clarify issues on the participation of people who had outstanding matters with the national dispute resolution committee.<\/p>\n

Two regions – DR WB Rubusana and Chris Hani – where some branches had been under investigation, would also be discussed.<\/p>\n

The DR WB Rubusana regional conference was halted in early April.<\/p>\n

Ngcukayitobi said the meeting would also outline conference readiness.<\/p>\n

The request from the task team stirred speculation that the event might again be stalled – the matter of outstanding disputes had been a crucial factor in the conference, scheduled for April, being postponed.<\/p>\n

Mashatile then gave the province a mandate for the conference to be held in May.<\/p>\n

However, ANC Eastern Cape provincial task team spokesperson Loyiso Magqashela ruled out the possibility of another postponement.<\/p>\n

He told News24 on Wednesday that the meeting with Mashatile was not an indication that the conference would be postponed.<\/p>\n

Magqashela insisted that the Wednesday meeting, scheduled for 14:00, was intended to clarify outstanding disputes.<\/p>\n

Magqashela said:<\/p>\n

Magqashela added that the province was not ruling out the likelihood of further disputes being brought forward ahead of the conference.<\/p>\n

The ANC in the Eastern Cape had previously played a crucial role in the party’s conferences.<\/p>\n

Candidates emerging victorious at this weekend’s event would likely shape the province’s strategy ahead of the ANC conference in December.<\/p>\n

About 1 500 branch delegates were expected to participate in the conference, including the party’s leagues and the task team.<\/p>\n
