Mzwandile Masina declares provisional win as ANC Ekurhuleni chair (Business Day)

The provisional results announced at the conference held at Indaba Hotel in Fourways show Masina narrowly won with 163 votes, beating rival Doctor Xhakaza, who ...

Masina’s ally, Lebogang Maile, is expected to contest for the provincial chair in June, going head-to-head with deputy chair Panyaza Lesufi. “I feel humbled by the membership of the ANC, that they still have confidence in me to lead them for the term. The fallout with Xhakaza has weakened Masina’s stronghold in Ekurhuleni. We had the greatest leaders like Thabo Mbeki who didn’t succeed in running for a third term,” Chuene said. They believe four votes will be disqualified, leaving the Xhakaza grouping with at least 11 votes to take their numbers to 162. Masina and his grouping believe those results will not change the outcome.

The Gauteng ANC leader, premier David Makhura, was so aghast at the scenes unfolding in front of him at the Ekurhuleni conference that he declared it was ...

It won only 45% of the votes cast at the local polls in 2021. This is exactly what has happened to the party’s Western Cape province, whose voice hardly matters in leadership elections these days. While there is no clear front-runner at this stage, there is some speculation that as many as five people might put their names in the ring. It is not impossible that the lower conferences will clean up the party’s fights and bring a lower level of contestation to the national conference, making it reasonably peaceful. In the simple politics of numbers, the more of “your” delegates you get through the door and into a conference hall, the greater the chances that you will win a leadership election.
