The ANC's newly elected leaders in KZN's Musa Dladla region say they'll get to work on rebuilding confidence in the party to regain lost ground on the north coast.
The third-largest region in KZN hosted its 8th elective conference in Mtubatuba this past weekend.
Musa Cebekhulu was voted regional chairperson and Phiweyinkosi Mhlongo his deputy.
Madanga Xulu is the regional secretary, Babhekile Mthembu the deputy secretary and Simangaliso Mgenge's the head of treasury.
Speaking at a media briefing, Cebekhulu said they need to fill the social gap between the ANC and the people.
The party lost control of Mhlathuze and King Cetshwayo to the IFP in last year's local government elections.
