ANC disbands committees in two provinces

The African National Congress (ANC) has disbanded the North West and Western Cape provincial executive committees (PEC), and has moved the Eastern Cape's provincial conference to August due to widespread factionalism and patronage, party secretary general Gwede Mantashe said on Monday.

Briefing the media after a meeting of the party's top brass over the weekend, he said business interests, control of resources and patronage were at the centre of divisions in the North West, and have persisted for more than a decade.
