|||Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal ANC is proud of the newly elected leaders of the party, provincial chairman Zweli Mkhize said on Saturday.
“We feel especially honoured as KwaZulu-Natal to host the very important 101st national anniversary of the African National Congress,” he told several thousand ANC members gathered at Kings Park stadium in Durban for the celebrations.
“We feel the ANC has given us an honour, because every province wants to host this.”
Mkhize was elected African National Congress national treasurer-general at the party’s elective conference in Mangaung in December.
During the opening address of the celebrations, Zweli greeted the ANC's alliance members, the national executive committee, the rest of the top six, the ANC leagues and former ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe.
He thanked the ANC members who could not make it to the conference in Mangaung, and supported the party “through the TV’s and radios”.
The province also supported the call to “root out bad tendencies” in the party. - Sapa
