The Citizenunderstands that this process began on Saturday and continued until the early hours of Monday morning.
The conference was expected to be in session around 11am but this could not happen because delegates were still at the Peter Mokaba stadium trying to get registered. “There are hiccups with the registration. We have been here since Sunday around 10pm.
It is over 12 hours that we have been here so we are hoping that these hiccups can get sorted,” said Siyabulela Mbophale from Ekurhuleni. Another delegate, Katlego Mphahlele also complained about the registration process. “I feel like they are frustrating us because this is happening because of internal issues but we are hoping that everything goes well because we want to chose our leadership,” he said.

Cosas spokesperson Bongani Mpongose toldThe Citizenthat the delays were caused by the late arrival of some delegates who come from distant provinces. “We have been waiting for all provinces to arrive since we have been travelling from different parts of the country so that is what held up the process,” he said.
