There are certain competencies that are constitutionally the sole reserve of the basic units of the organisation. Things like election of delegates and nominations of leadership are constitutionally the reserve of the structures. Branch Delegates for examples can not be elected by the BEC, it is the sole responsibility of the BGM to elect their own delegation. The BEC may resolve to support a certain person as a delegate, but that does not make it a branch view, it remains a BEC view and it should be presented as such. Similarly, when an REC resolve to support a particular candidate for leadership, that can never be said to be a regional view, it remains an REC view until it is adopted by the structures with a region. It must be presented as an REC view and nothing else. Conflict between the executives and the structures which elected them starts when they(the executive structures) begin to afford themselves powers or competencies that are the sole reserve of the structures. We have seen it before particularly around conference where the views of the executive are defined by the structures, the unfortunate consequences of this are that even after conference the structures turns not to trust the people they elected and then chaos becomes the order the day. Cdes must convene RGCs if the want the view of Jhb otherwise they must present the view properly as an REC view not as a view of JHB
