The African National Congress (ANC) says at this stage it will not comment on a reported fist fight during the ANC Women's League provincial conference in Polokwane, Limpopo.

Rivals for the provincial chairperson's position Maite Marutha and Makoma Makhurupetji reportedly exchanged blows in full view of delegates. It is believed the scuffle ensued after Makhurupetji accused Marutha of lacking leadership skills

Meanwhile the Amathole ANC Youth League regional congress underway at the Walter Sisulu University campus near King William's Town has elected Pumlani Mkolo as regional chairperson with Tembalethu Ntutu as regional secretary.

A group of disgruntled delegates earlier smashed the podium and tables, demanding a postponement of the ruling party’s congress. It claimed that the conference was marred by gross irregularities. The group had been removed from the venue.

The congress has announced that out-going provincial secretary Ayanda Matiti is their candidate for the chairmanship position in the upcoming Eastern Cape Youth League provincial congress. Eastern Cape Youth Commission chairperson Mlimandlela Ndamase is also contesting the position.
