The African National Congress in Transkei — regarded as a powerbase for the organisati­on — is in tatters and almost all of its top leaders have been ousted in a bid to stem the crisis.

This week the organisati­on confirmed the contents of a report of visits by ANC deputy secretary general Jacob Zuma to the region in September and October.

The report warned that, if the ANC’S problems in the Transkei were not sorted out, it could face a disaster in the elections.

ANC Transkei media officer Nat Serache this week confirmed the Zuma visit: “If it were not for that document we would not have gone to the press about these problems. We do not want to wash out dirty linen in public.”

Among those ousted were chairman and Umkhonto wesizwe veteran David Ndawonde and secretary Fezile Bhengu. — The Weekly Mail, January 7 to 13 1994
