ANC in Gauteng prioritises growing support before reconfiguration of leadership

JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng says it is focused on growing the party’s support base before reconfiguring its provincial leadership.

It has been over a week since the ANC’s national executive committee (NEC) resolved to "reconfigure" its Gauteng branch due to poor electoral performance.

The specific details of how reconfiguration will pan out remain unclear.

In the meantime, the ANC in Gauteng is currently holding the provincial leg of the party’s January 8 celebrations, marking 113 years of its existence.

The ANC's Gauteng spokesperson, Lesego Makhubele, says they are not bogged down with reconfiguration.

“Our focus is the rally, service delivery and to actually listen more to what the people are saying to us. I think the (ANC) national executive committee and the national officials will come and clarify the issue of reconfiguration, I’m not even qualified to speak about it.”
