ANC to Discuss Service Delivery Protests

The National Executive Committee of the ANC will start a three-day meeting on Friday to discuss, among other things, recent service delivery protests, a spokesperson said.

"This meeting takes place in the background of some sporadic service delivery protests that have taken place in some parts of the country," said ANC spokesperson Brian Sokutu.

"The NWC [National Working Committee] has already expressed concern at the violent tactics employed by the protesters. Those would certainly be expected to be among the issues [to be discussed at the meeting]."

ANC spokesperson Jessie Duarte told SABC that recent service delivery protests in Mpumalanga, North West, Western Cape and Gauteng provinces would come under discussion.

"We will look at the service related protests and the ANC structures on the ground's involvement in the management of those situations," said Duarte.
