The ANC has not been able to consistently apply their campaign rules at the party's elective conference, says Mail&Guardian journalist Govan Whittles.
Many ANC delegates have been brandishing campaign T-shirts and posters declaring their preferred presidential candidate, while other supporters have been singing songs of support.
This is despite an earlier party resolution to ban campaign T-shirts and posters due to their divisive nature.
Whittles joined political analyst Karima Brown to discuss this and other issues unfolding at the conference.
When you look at their behaviour; they've allowed the delegates to run the show.

I don't know why someone didn't go to NDZ to tell them not to sing in her name.

There's been no application of the rules when it comes to singing.
— Govan Whittles, Mail&Guardian journalist
People have been openly displaying posters saying 'I support Cyril', or 'I support Dlamini-Zuma'.
