The much-anticipated ANC Johannesburg regional conference set for this weekend has been postponed. Its build up was overshadowed by the shocking news of former mayor Mpho Moerane’s road accident on Monday night

Moerane was expected to go head to head with current secretary Dada Morero for the chairperson position.
