New ANC National Working Committee is elected

The African National Congress (ANC) announced the names of members of a new National Working Committee (NWC) that was to be responsible for the day-to-day running of its affairs. The NWC had been elected at a meeting of the 60-member National Executive Committee (NEC), the party's second highest decision-making structure. The NEC also agreed to retain President Nelson Mandela's services as an ex-officio member of both the NEC and NWC.
