"The Provincial Secretary is engaging with the office of the secretary-general to see whether we cannot be allowed to use the old system while we are still engaging in the introduction of the new system. 

"As a province, we are certain that the conferences are going to sit per road map, but as I am saying we are anticipating that we are going to be diverted due to the fact that National has introduced the new system."
