"We wish to inform all delegates to this conference that cadres of the movement and members of society from across the province and the country will be following the proceedings of this important gathering," said Ntombela.
Delegates will assess whether the ruling party's policies are having an impact on rural and township development.
They are expected to refine and interrogate the implementation of the ANC programme of action as announced by ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa in his January statement.
Ntombela said:
He added that delegates would also be expected to discuss how to rebuild and strengthen the alliance in the region.
"We remain seized with ensuring a strong ANC – a united and vibrant alliance that debates issues and examines all issues internally, without fear and self-censorship by cadres of this Revolutionary Alliance," said Ntombela.
"We are confident that delegates from branches in this region will use this gathering to sharpen our strategies to ensure that the ANC of OR Tambo remains the only organisation capable of advancing the agenda of the transformation of society."
