The manager from KwaZulu-Natal said although the treasurer-general’s position was not yet allocated Masina was a strong contender since he was coming with numbers.

After the nomination of both Ramaphosa and Mkhize, there was a nomination from the floor from a delegate from KwaZulu-Natal who nominated Cogta minister This after conference adopted a resolution to expand the party's official leadership from six to seven. When nominations got under way, the party’s elections committee chair Kgalema Motlante explained that there would be nominations for the top seven officials: the positions of president, deputy president, national chair, secretary-general, two deputy secretary-generals and the treasurer-general.

With no clear line of march from the ANC president, his allies are left to their own devices, racing against time to find each other and solidify a slate.

It was Ramaphosa’s conference to lose, but seemingly only the ANC president is blind to that reality. No one is willing to back down and without a leader taking control of the situation, Mkhize could find himself at an advantage. They believe it was this cohesiveness between the two that made “them” nervous. Unlike many who did not belong to the Ramaphosa faction, Mkhize did not identify with the radical economic transformation faction. For the first time since Ramaphoria took hold of the country, the ANC had an alternative for its presidency. Mkhize, many whispered, could be the yin to Ramaphosa yang.

After electing the ANC top leaders, the ANC delegates will start discussions on a number of key issues ranging from energy to the party’s contentious step aside policy stipulating that ANC members facing criminal charges should step down from their positions in the party and government. Apart from Mkhize, other ANC KZN members who will be contesting senior ANC positions at the conference include former KZN ANC provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli, who is vying for the party’s secretary general position and former KZN premier Sihle Zikalala, who is contesting a position in the ANC national executive committee (NEC). Mkhize, who has the support of the majority of delegates from his home province of KwaZulu-Natal, also has some support from provinces such as the Eastern Cape and Free State.

This is expected to split the president’s votes thereby making it for Mashatile. Although he did not visit Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Western Cape and North West, his lobbyists worked tirelessly which resulted in him getting a sizeable number of delegates to his favour. Perhaps the biggest surprise for Mkhize was when he won Free State which was reportedly behind the current president. Mkhize’s political advisers’ strategy of nominating Paul Mashatile, Mokonyane and Mzwandile all from Gauteng appeared to have worked well since latest figures show that about 50% delegates would vote for him. After his visit three weeks to the conference Mkhize came back with the guarantee of 162 votes out of 251 delegates. Mkhize’s first stop was in eKurhuleni in Gauteng where his running mates Nomvula Mokonyane, Mzwandile Masina and Phumulo Masuale officially clarified that they were going with him.
