ANC branch says Zuma's nomination was flawed
An ANC branch in Ekurhuleni has lodged a complaint with the Gauteng provincial leadership after a chaotic meeting that saw President Jacob Zuma nominated to retain his post as the party's head.
Ward 46 branch chairman Mazengelonke Mdingi said the general meeting, which was held at the Thuto Lesedi Secondary School in Vosloorus, had continued despite complaints that it didn't quorate.
He said out of the fewer that 71 members who voted a majority were Zuma supporters.
The members also chose Cyril Ramaphosa as Zuma's deputy, Gwede Mantashe to retain his position as secretary-general and Jesse Duarte as his deputy. Baleka Mbete was retained in her positions as chairwoman, while National Planning Commission Minister Trevor Manuel was nominated to replace Mathews Phosa as treasurer. Mdingi, along with other members including an official who works in Phosa's office, Bobo Mokoena, branch secretary Bongani Kraai and his deputy Thunyiswa Kuntana, said they delivered their individual complaints to Gauteng provincial secretary David Makhura yesterday, protesting the outcome.
In it they appeal to Makhura to declare the entire process invalid and to set a new date for fresh nominations. They also want the province to send its own deployees.
But Makhura's office could not confirm this, saying complaints would normally have to go through the regional executive committee.

the process was likely to be flwed due to the fact that the masses have not provided an alternative candidate, the proposed people r all rotten potatos, so its better to reelect the Zuma than try another corrupt fool, had accountable people been named as possible replacement for Msholozi the wouldnt had been a need to crook the voting. I have been a fan of Montlante but the man is too quet i dont trust that he statnds for whats right anymore, coz if he was he should be challenging Zuma in a constructive manner, he failed to engage Thabo aswwell till it was too late, i dont believe leaders become leaders when they get the position, a leader is a leader even when he doesnot hold a formal leader's position, i hope he can go and prove me wrongReport Abuse

Seeing that soon they will be out of work they come out with delaying tactics. I belisve that this fake comrades hav seen that their goose that is laying their silver eggs will be no more in south african political arena they cook that nonses. Phosa was from political dustbeen, he belongs there, so why are this faks comrades worried. In politics there is no therefore, problems with this guys is that they didnt done groudwork (lobying).

Even if as the change forces we fail in Mangaung , we will come back pick the pieces but sure JZ will not start his second term as the noose around his neck is getting tighter. He is now using good cadres to advance his mission so he can tarnish them like he did with cde Bheki Cele and cde Gwen Mahlangu Nkabinde.JZ and is cohorts are not ilusive they have reached the pinnacle and now is their time to get down, the best is for JZ to just give inn as he foghting will not benefit the country. He got the the presidency through turmoil and he wants to leave the country in a terrible state.
Goood cadres of the movement have to rise up and fight this menace , keep cool get to Mangaung and turn the tables on JZ,Baleka and Gwede. The three are bad news for the ANC just like minister Shabangu
