“The problem was load-shedding,” one of the ANC’s media guys explained. “When you upload the information from the cloud and it cuts out, then it throws out the whole system.” The hecklers were mainly from KwaZulu-Natal. Their rowdiness eventually died down when provincial leader Siboniso Duma had words with some of the more troublesome individuals. “The province quickly realised that they were going to be marginalising themselves, so they sat down,” a senior figure from the province told the FM.
There was a long silence from delegates after the initial heckling died down a few minutes into Ramaphosa’s speech, but it was significant to note the parts that did raise applause or heckles from the delegates.
