JOHANNESBURG - The decision to exclude KwaZulu-Natal, the Free State and the North West from voting will most likely have an impact on the support for Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma.

The three province rallied behind Dlamini Zuma leading up to the conference.

Delegates who are still making their way in say they don’t think the decision will affect them. Both camps supporting Dlamini Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa believe they have the numbers.

However, it’s the songs being sung that seem to be giving a slight indication as to who the delegates support.

Fewer buses can be seen arriving, but many delegates are still waiting outside as they slowly trickle in.

There has been a sense of friendly banter as delegates disagree on candidates.

What can also be seen are small groups of delegates huddled, whispering about numbers for their preferred candidates.
