Sam, who was first elected President in 2008, was elected unopposed. Hajera Kajee and Les Williams were also re-elected to their positions of First and Second Vice-President.
Speaking after his re-election, Sam said that his focus for the next four years "will be to strengthen the provincial structures," adding that Sascoc is only "scratching the surface when it comes to talent." Sam insisted that total accountability must be practiced at all times, while the organisation looks for a better funding model.
