Meet the men and women who made the ANC's Premier candidate list.
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as ANC president in December 2017 and was at the helm of the dominant faction that waged a bitter and often brutal struggle for control of the party in the province.
Limpopo premier Stan ‘Chupu’ Mathabatha will return to his role, having managed to retain his leadership position in the province against Tsonga disco/Shangaan electro star Papa Penny last year. Penny accused Mathabatha of being out of touch with the problems in the province, saying he would speed up service delivery, especially of water to rural outliers; reform the health system, which he says “leaves people dying”; and create jobs to turn the province’s fortunes around..
In the Northern Cape, Zamani Saul will replace Sylvia Lucas as premier. In May 2017, Saul was elected as the provincial chairperson. The battle between Lucas and Saul for leadership was perceived as a proxy battle for the ANC presidential campaigns of then deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and former African Union Commission chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
Since embattled former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo was ousted last year, the province has been in a state of disarray, with ANC support dropping by more than 4% in the provincial elections. In a statement issued late on Monday, party secretary-general Ace Magashule said talks regarding who the premier of that province would be were still ongoing. This comes after a proposal that the incumbent premier Job Mokgoro continue in his role was rejected.
