I never thought the ANC conference in KwaZulu-Natal could be so smooth given the factional battles in the party. Many expected chairs and water bottles to fly as well as the wielding of guns. I hope other ANC provinces have learnt from the KZN ANC on how to run smooth conferences.

However, the new leadership will be worse than the previous one. I thought members of the ANC in KZN have accepted Jacob Zuma has done wrong and would not sing Wenzeni uZuma. I thought this time around they would have left their tribalist mentality at home...
