The ANC Gauteng conference which was unable to conclude its business over the weekend will again convene on 9 and 10 July.

The announcement was made by newly elected chairperson Panyaza Lesufi on Tuesday during a media briefing at Luthuli House.

Lesufi said: “As you know the election of additional members and the discussion of policy documents never happened this weekend and as such we have resolved to reconvene the conference from the 9th to the 10th of July.”

During the briefing, the ANC also announced that Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza will be stepping down as Ekurhuleni Secretary after being also appointed provincial secretary over the weekend.

ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe said “as per the constitution of the party, once a member is elected into a higher structure they automatically have to step down from the other position.”
