Gauteng ‘excited’ as its leaders dominate new ANC top 7
The ANC in Gauteng emerged the biggest winner at the party’s national elective conference in Nasrec, south of Johannesburg, with the majority of the new top seven coming from the province.
This comes after members of branches allocated within Gauteng were elected to the higher echelons of the ANC, such as party president Cyril Ramaphosa, new deputy Paul Mashatile, national chairperson Gwede Mantashe, new treasurer-general Gwen Ramokgopa and first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane.
New secretary-general Fikile Mbalula's branch is in Gauteng, while the second deputy secretary-general Maropene Ramokgopa is from Limpopo.

'There were no sell-outs — branches spoke': Mkhize lobbyists to get behind new ANC leaders
After their bruising loss, the Zweli Mkhize campaign is not pointing fingers at leaders who appeared on their slate but won top positions with his rival, President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa was re-elected ANC president at the party’s 55th national conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, on Monday, securing 2,476 votes to 1,897 for Mkhize.
Mkhize campaign chief lobbyist Simphiwe Bulose said they did not feel betrayed and will rally behind the newly elected leaders: “When you are going for a conference, you fight tooth and nail for those you prefer to win — but after the conference is done and democracy has prevailed, you support the elected leadership.”
