The Khayelitsha Development Forum’s Ndithini Tyhido and his slate made a clean sweep for new leadership of the ANC’s Dullah Omar (City of Cape Town) region.
The region – named after Abdullah Mohamed Omar, the late anti-apartheid activist, lawyer and the first justice minister of a democratic South Africa – is the ANC’s largest in the Western Cape in terms of membership and population, but it has been declining in recent years.
Neville Delport said the party has lost the trust of communities due to party members occupied with fighting over positions.
The region, which for many years was the home of at least half of the ANC’s members in the Western Cape, has been fighting for survival and relevance in the past few years, according to the ANC’s own assessment.
Registration is expected to open on Friday, with the conference set to take place over the weekend.
