The ANC says ANC Joburg region says it is waiting on the decision from the party’s provincial executive and national officials on who would be its candidate for the Johannesburg mayoral position.
The Johannesburg council is scheduled to meet Thursday to elect a new mayor following Herman Mashaba’s resignation from the the DA last month.
Geoff Makhubo, Nonceba Molwele, and Jolidee Matongo have been nominated by the ANC as candidates for the position.
The party said the name would be announced once the provincial office bearers met with their national ANC officials.
“At this stage, we are waiting for that approval and by tomorrow morning we will wake up knowing that the ANC is bringing one of its credible cadres to run the municipality of Johannesburg,” said ANC Gauteng secretary Jacob Khawe.
