“Clearly by hiding and waiting for after the elections, [the ANC has] something to hide,” Maimane said. “These are South Africans who emerged through a rigorous process,” said Maimane. “We don’t believe public office is an award. The real problem for the ANC is that for them, office is not about competence for the voters. For them, office is a popularity contest within.”
The ANC is not bound by law to release a list of premier candidates before the elections, as that only applies to candidates for parliament and provincial legislatures. The legislatures elect premiers after the elections.
