The ANC Veterans' League called the election of its leadership a return to the party's core non-racial and non-sexist values.

On Sunday, in what party veterans said was a sign of their maturity, the league's nine provincial structures each nominated two names, as well as nine other luminary leaders, to form part of its national executive committee – the elders' highest decision-making structure.

Representatives from all nine provinces told the ANC's electoral commission, headed by Motlanthe, that voting would not be necessary.The representatives said that the names chosen reflected the ANC's non-racialism and non-sexism policy for electing leaders, that the party adopted at its 1991 national conference – the first after its unbanning.

After the names were adopted by conference, Motlanthe gushed that the veterans returned what he called"the real ANC" by not fighting for positions, and focusing on policy.On Saturday, the league's top five structure was elected, with Snuki Zikalala and Mavuso Msimang emerging as president and deputy president respectively, after being chosen unopposed.
