Following bickering over MEC positions, the ANC says Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi will announce the MECs today.
The African National Congress says the task of setting up government in Gauteng is long overdue and it would be irresponsible to continue with the impasse between itself and the Democratic Alliance in the province.
During a media briefing on Wednesday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula highlighted that the ANC is in agreement with other political parties in the province except the DA. He emphasised that they have engaged further with the DA and that Lesufi will announce the MECs on Wednesday, 3 July. The two parties have almost the same number of seats in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.The DA revealed that the ANC has been prepared to offer it a maximum of three out of ten Cabinet seats without telling them how many seats they intend to take for themselves and how many they propose to offer to other parties.
During the briefing, Zille revealed that the ANC conceded that they had intended to allocate three seats to the DA and seven to themselves out of a cabinet of 11 .
