JOHANNESBURG - The ANC's greater Johannesburg region is defending the credibility of last year's elective conference.
This follows claims of vote rigging during the ANC Joburg regional conference in December.
Loyiso Masuku was elected chairperson, beating Dada Morero.
The party insists the process was free and fair.
The reassurance comes after reports that a ballot box was found open at a presiding officer's home.
ANC Greater Johannesburg regional secretary Sasabona Manganye delivered the party statement at a press conference.
