ANC in KZN throws weight behind Mkhize as party leader
The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal has endorsed former health minister Zweli Mkhize for the position of party president.
The party briefed the media on Tuesday morning on the outcomes of its special Provincial Executive Committee meeting.
For the role of deputy president, it's backing the ANC's treasurer-general Paul Mashatile as its preferred candidate ahead of the party's elective conference in December.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday, provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo moved away from entertaining much about former president Jacob Zuma who, in his letter backed, a certain competent female candidate thought to be Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
Mtolo Zuma alone does not have the powers to single handedly anoint someone.
