Eleven members of the African National Congress Women's League
(ANCWL) resigned from the group's executive on Saturday (11/2),
citing bad leadership by the ANCWL president, Winnie Mandela, the
estranged wife of President Mandela. President Nelson Mandela held four hours of talks with the 11 women, but failed to persuade them to return. "We will not change our minds about the resignations," said Nosiviwe Mpisa-Nqakula,the League's former secretary-general. "We want the ANC to resolve the problems of the Women's League," she told a news conference after meeting President Mandela. The president said: "This is a matter that is entirely in the hands of the women's league. They are in firm control." He declined further comment.
