But it might be a pyrrhic victory for the former mayor of eThekwini council who heads to court soon over a solid waste tender.

But the outcome may be a pyrrhic victory as Durban’s residents are said to be growing increasingly tired of the ANC’s self-interest and aggrandisement in the beautiful city. This is the faction that has now won resoundingly in the region, taking all the top positions in a powerful showing of slate politics. The former mayor is likely to step aside in line with ANC procedures, but her election – won with 210 votes compared with 181 for her rival, eThekwini Municipality speaker Thabani Nyawose – was designed as a show of strength by the RET faction of the party.

Newly elected ANC eThekwini chairperson Zandile Gumede says she believes the party should repeal its step-aside policy.

Ramaphosa warned ANC members of deep divisions that plagued the province ahead of its conference, describing it as a "house on fire". For only R75 per month, you have access to a world of in-depth analyses, investigative journalism, top opinions and a range of features. There will also be another extended meeting that shall discuss this matter, and we will get back to the public about the outcomes," said Mabe. He called out ANC factionalism where some party members were "members of members". He said the ANC was an organisation whose leadership did its work collectively. Gumede's win resulted in a clean sweep for her slate.

“I think it is only fair that this new leadership is given its space to conduct its business, including reflecting on the step-aside issue. “The election result tonight has nothing to do with the performance of Cyril Ramaphosa as the president of the ANC. I don’t think it will affect his chances of re-election. Of the five elected, only three will remain in their positions if the step-aside resolution is applied. It is just that they had a different view to us”. A total of 25 votes were up for grabs — 13 for the Women’s League and 12 for the Youth League. This is what decisively tilted the balance of power in Gumede’s favour. “The results tonight have nothing to do with my job. The region will also now begin the process of engaging with other regions on the path forward. “The branches of eThekwini love her. Ntando Khuzwayo walked with a spring in his step after the much-awaited eThekwini ANC regional conference results were announced on Sunday night. I was deployed by the ANC to my job. Branches of eThekwini love her and trust her,” he said. “I always knew that Mama would win.
