For the provincial secretary position, three people were nominated: former provincial secretary Jacob Khawe, Ekurhuleni regional secretary Thembinkosi TK Nciza, and Thulani Kunene. Former Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku declined his nomination for provincial treasurer. Instead, Morakane Mosupye accepted his nomination for the position from the conference floor.Lesufi and Maile had previously contested the deputy chairperson position in 2018, which saw Lesufi emerging victorious.Ahead of the gathering, clear support from Maile was predicted from Tshwane, where most branches indicated their support for the Gauteng Cogta MEC.
The debate was fierce, with delegates raising objections about guests present, including ANC national executive committee members, at the conference.
