The ANC Women’s League ANCWL in the Bojanala region is experiencing turmoil after two parallel elective regional conferences were held, each electing its own executive committee and claiming legitimacy. One conference, sanctioned by the ANCWL North West provincial executive committee PEC, took place at Soshanguve Hotel in Tshwane, electing Johanna Libidike as regional chair. This conference faced concerns regarding irregularities and its location outside the region. Dissatisfied members boycotted the Soshanguve conference, citing its irregularity and the venue in Gauteng instead of Bojanala in North West. These members then staged a separate conference at Ben Marais Hall in Rustenburg, electing Basebi Lekoro as chair. Both groups claim to be the legitimate and democratically elected leadership. The ANC leadership in the province now faces the challenge of uniting these two factions.
