[WATCH] Politricking with Tshidi Madia: Nkosindiphile Xhakaza, Ekurhuleni Mayor

With the ANC in Ekurhuleni set to hold its long-awaited regional conference before the end of the year, its convener Doctor Xhakaza has suggested it might be best for the organisation to avoid the battle often associated with the pursuit of positions. The last elective conference the region held, back in 2022, left some bloodied, as Xhakaza took on former mayor and now parliamentarian Mzwandile Masina for the position of chairperson. The results of that conference were also set aside in the high court following a year-long dispute over ballots that were not quarantined. The discounted votes were believed to have the ability to swing the conference in Xhakaza's favour, with some party members at the time, claiming they were pushed aside to help keep Masina in power. Xhakaza was this week's guest on EWN's Politricking with Tshidi Madia.
