 The resignation movement resounded particularly in provinces in which there were already splits in the ANC structure, such as the Western Cape.The convention called by Lekota was held in Sandton on 1 November 2008.Planned for 4,000 delegates over two days, the conference eventually hosted over 5,000, with some people not able to get into the venue, and was shortened to one day to avoid inconvenience to those delegates who had nowhere to stay overnight.
