It was an abrupt adjournment of the ANC 55th national conference on Tuesday. Delegates left without knowing who the National Executive Committee (NEC) the highest decision-making body of the party is nor where any policy resolutions adopted, instead it will reconvene at a hybrid session in early January to continue where it left off. Despite this in his closing address President Cyril Ramaphosa remained upbeat and confident.
