MPUMALANGA - The African National Congress (ANC)'s second biggest province in terms of membership numbers, Mpumalanga, heads into its Provincial General Council (PGC) meeting on Friday.

More than 5,000 delegates are expected to attend what could end up in a court battle, as seen in other provinces, ahead of the ruling party's December national elective conference.
