27 March 2026 – The much anticipated 9th ANC Regional Conference in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati Region that was supposed to be held during the weekend at Lysko Primary School near Vryburg, has been postponed. This comes after the Regional Task Team (RTT) failed to receive an authorisation letter to hold a conference from the ANC Secretary-General, Fikile Mbalula’s Office.
The RTT coordinator in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati region, Walter Mabogola said in a letter that the decision has been taken pending the release of letter of authorisation to hold the conference, final verification report and final NDRC verdicts which is within the competency of the office of the Secretary General.
“This notice serves to notify the above-mentioned leadership, branches of ANC and support staff that the 9th regional conference of Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati region has been postponed until further notice.
“This decision has been taken pending the release of letter of authorisation to hold the conference, final verification report and final NDRC verdicts, which is within the competency of the office of the Secretary General,” he said.
Mabogola further said the leadership has unreservedly apologised to the branches and members of the ANC
in the region for any inconvenience this might have caused. He added that, the date of the envisaged regional conference will be determined and announced as soon as all the outstanding issues of compliance are resolved.
“The leadership has thanked all the members, branches and RTT members for all the efforts made in ensuring that the region prepares for the envisaged 9th regional conference.
“Hoping for a positive response,” said Mabogola.
