Ramaphosa denies Makhura ousted as Lesufi set to become Gauteng premier. READ:

“I think he’s up to the job, he’s the new chairperson of Gauteng, and he’s going to be well supported by the members of the PEC and by the membership.”“It is a smooth transition. The premier had gone public himself and said that he would be leaving. So, there’s no drama, it is all being well executed, and we wish the new premier well and Makhura well as he goes forward.

The trade union federation said the ANC in the province was embarking on a “political suicide mission”. It said the decision on Makhura’s exit from office by the new PEC was “inward-looking” and followed “the same old trajectory of obsessing over palace politics while the working class is bleeding”. “There are no signs that the newly elected leadership has understood nor managed to decode the message of the last couple of elections outcomes, ” said Cosatu.

The trade union federation will convene a special sitting of the Gauteng Legislature on Thursday at 12 pm at the Selborne Hall, Gauteng Provincial Legislature in Johannesburg, to elect the Premier of the Gauteng Province.
