The ANC's provincial conference in Gauteng will continue on Sunday following an unsuccessful urgent court application to interdict the conference.

"We are not saying this because we are arrogant, but we are saying this because we have been watching the trend over the last few cases that have been brought forward." "Our national office and the province have been quite clear that we would be able to say before any court that our processes have been fair."

This is to make sure that the ANC in Gauteng emerges victorious in 2024. We have just concluded the nomination process and all five positions are being contested in this conference with two candidates contesting the chairperson position led by comrade Lesufi and Comrade Maile," Mabe told the media. After that proces we had to disband the PEC to allow the nomination process to take place.

The ANC's provincial conference in Gauteng will continue on Sunday following an unsuccessful urgent court application to interdict the conference.

"We are not saying this because we are arrogant, but we are saying this because we have been watching the trend over the last few cases that have been brought forward." "When we had received an indication that we were going to be served with papers seeking to interdict the 14th provincial conference of Gauteng, we indicated that we are comfortable and confident that processes of the ANC are foolproof, sufficient enough to withstand any form of scrutiny and that we were also looking forward to the court ruling in our favour," Mabe said "But we also want to ensure that people who are here have really passed through these rigorous gates of the ANC. We have lots of gates that you have to pass through for this.

“The approach adopted by the NEC and the PEC is simply unworkable and makes a mockery of the democratic process envisaged in the ANC constitution. The ANC is the governing party and will likely get the highest support of the electorate in the 2024 general elections in the country. Since late yesterday (Friday) the conference has been adjourned pending printing of such,” a source said. The ANC lost control of key economic hubs, Joburg and Ekurhuleni and the capital city, Tshwane at last year’s local government polls. On Friday, the Gauteng PEC decided to proceed with the conference and deferred the matter of the quarantined votes to the new leadership of the organisation in the province. Ngomane said in his court papers that the approach of the PEC and NEC was flawed.

However, depending on how far below 50% the party drops, there is an opportunity for the opposition party to put together their own coalition essentially kicking the ANC out. Some leaders from the regions in the province held intense negotiations in an attempt to have an uncontested conference. For the first time since the advent of democracy, the party is expected to drop below 50% in the province in the 2024 general elections.

As voting for the Gauteng ANC top position of the chair was underway in Benoni on Sunday night, supporters of Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Lebogang Maile expressed divergent views for rallying behind the two candidates. “In order to address this, the ANC must address the findings on the state of the branches,” said Khawe. The report found the majority of branches in a state of disarray – “unable to fulfil the mandate as outlined in the constitution”. Said a Lesufi supporter: “The reason why the Ekurhuleni youth league, the reason we are rallying behind Lesufi is because we believe in the kind of leadership that he is portraying. “In Gauteng, the electoral support of the ANC has been in decline since 2011 in all municipalities,” said Khawe. With both leaders having accepted nominations for the position of provincial chair, preferred slates were marked in slogan and in song, with Maile’s “Adiwele” and Lesufi’s “Renewal”.

The regulations compel the IEC to make political party disclosures available to the public on a quarterly basis. Tau said the ANC in Gauteng had had to reduce its staff complement as it has struggled to meet its obligations in that regard. Despite the glowing financial reports, the province has struggled with staff salaries, which have swallowed more than 50% of its operational bill.

The conference was characterised by numerous delays and was poorly organised, garnering outrage from delegates.

The delegates, who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed former provincial secretary Jacob Khawe for the poor planning of the event. The two men come from the same region and are said to have a contentious relationship. By 4pm on Monday morning, it was still unclear when the conference would conclude, having faced delays for over three days. One delegate called for the ANC leaders in attendance to take the needs of its branches into account when planning for conferences. Another delegate complained that the conference had dragged on for days with no progress in sight. One delegate, who complained about the poor organising of the conference, said she was employed in a DA-led municipality which meant that she would have to report to work on Monday.

Following a divisive provincial conference, the Gauteng ANC has emerged with a mixed bag of leaders representing both factions that backed Lebogang Maile ...

Women delegates were visibly pleased with the outcome of three women taking up positions in the province's top five. A delay to the election of the province's PEC means the Ekurhuleni matter will remain unresolved until the election occurs. The election of three women is a first for the ANC in provincial conferences this year. The ANC in Ekurhuleni was the biggest winner, with the region securing the Gauteng secretary position after the election of Thembinkosi Nciza. The new chairperson of the ANC in Gauteng obtained 575 votes compared to Maile's 543. - The contest between the two men was close, but women delegates emerged as the biggest winners of the conference.

Panyaza Lesufi has secured the top position in the Gauteng ANC, but it is Lebogang Maile's close allies who will run the secretariat.

Sithole wanted the secretary-general’s office to assist the PEC with any further investigations regarding the Ekurhuleni saga and then to force the provincial structure to make a final decision about the quarantined votes. Therefore, the delegation list which has been submitted by the ANCYL GP PCPC, as co-signed by both convenor and Coordinator for the Gauteng ANC Provincial Conference remains legitimate,” the letter read. The provincial structure decided not to make a determination about the matter and instead allowed Ekurhuleni region members affected by the matter to vote and then to quarantine their votes at provincial level. The court application to interdict the#ANCGPconference has been struck off the roll. On Saturday afternoon, Jabulani Sithole made an application with the Gauteng high court to interdict the conference. Being in charge of the secretariat will allow Nciza to wield power in the province as it means he is not likely to hold a position in provincial government. Preliminary results coming from the conference held at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways show that ANC Ekurhuleni provisional chairperson Mzwandile Masina won by a small margin against Doctor Xhakaza. Masina received 163 votes while Xhakaza had 151. Morakane Mosupye has been nominated by a branch member from the Sedibeng region to contest the#ANCGPtreasurer position. The#ANCGPPEC has decided that Ekurhuleni branches whose votes were quarantined will be allowed to participate in conference. Mosupyoe only won the position by a single vote, managing to get 556 votes while her opponent Pule Mojapelo was supported by 555 delegates. This is why the majority of the party’s conferences spend hours or even days discussing credentials, as secretaries could easily use the power bestowed upon them to rig the entire process in order to suit their own agenda. Panyaza Lesufi managed to secure the top position, but Lebogang Maile’s close allies have been tasked to run the secretariat.
