The KwaZulu-Natal ANC's eighth provincial elective conference has elected a new top leadership after a shaky start to its highly-anticipated conference.
Sihle Zikalala has retained his position as chair of the provincial executive committee (PEC) as he was elected unopposed.
Nomusa Dube-Ncube also retained her position as treasurer as she was also elected unopposed.
Mike Mabuyakhulu has beaten Willies Mchunu to become the province's deputy chairperson;
Mdumseni Ntuli knocked Super Zuma out to take the position of provincial secretary;
Sipho Hlomuka beat Mluleki Ndobe and Bongi Moloi-Sithole to be elected as the deputy secretary.
More than 1 000 delegates from across the province, where the party enjoys the largest membership, gathered for the event from Thursday.
The long-awaited conference faced two court challenges, which threatened to prevent it from continuing as planned. However, it has managed to see the rest of the event through.
