The ANC’s national executive committee will meet on Tuesday to discuss the party’s looming policy conference. Even if President Jacob Zuma’s tenure won’t be up for debate this time, he’s likely to face pressure to set up the long-awaited commission of inquiry on state capture, in which he’s played a starring role. Then, on Friday, ANC delegates in their thousands will converge on Nasrec, south Joburg, to discuss the state of the party and policy changes. That delegates are banned from wearing T-shirts that show support for any faction suggests a tense atmosphere.
