Regarded as a party guru on local government issues, Tau would probably be most suitable as a deputy minister at Cogta.
And so Makhura went about lobbying Luthuli House for a solution. He seems to have found a sympathetic ear in President Cyril Ramaphosa who is now expected to announce Tau - who also serves as the ANC Gauteng treasurer - as one of his deputy ministers this afternoon.
He was Johannesburg mayor until the ANC lost the city to a DA-led coalition government in 2016. It is understood that during his tenure as the leader of the SA Local Governments Associations , Tau enjoyed a good working relationship with Ramaphosa, who was the country's deputy president at the time. As he is not on the national list of parliamentarians, if Tau is appointed in the national government, his would be one of two appointments the president is constitutionally allowed to make from outside the National Assembly.
