KWAZULU-NATAL chair of chairs in the legislature, Siboniso Duma, has been elected as the new ANC provincial chairperson after receiving 903 votes, beating incumbent, Sihle Zikalala, who only received 665 votes.
Duma, who originally comes from Mthwalume on the South Coast and is a leading member of the so-called Taliban faction, mounted an unexpectedly strong challenge and defied the odds by beating Zikalala for the hotly contested position of ANC provincial chairperson.
