The ANC in Limpopo heads to conference this weekend amid strong indications that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s bid for a second term will be endorsed by whoever wins there
Florence Radzilani, who was also mentioned in the VBS Bank report but never charged, is contesting the position of deputy chair on the Mathabatha slate. She was forced to resign as mayor of the Vhembe district municipality after Motau reported her as allegedly having demanded a R300,000 “Christmas” present when the municipality deposited R300m in VBS.
According to ANC insiders, the “Doctors Group” — a reference to ministers/doctors who come from Limpopo: Aaron Motsoaledi, Joe Phaahla and health MEC Phophi Ramathuba — is said to back this slate with communication and digital technology minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
