Is John Steenhuisen gearing up to become president?
Moerane was elected mayor of Johannesburg in October last year, until the ANC lost its grip in the metro following the municipal elections.
He was elected following the deaths of two Johannesburg mayors, Jeff Makhubo and Jolidee Matongo, last year.
Moerane was due to compete for a position at the ANC regional conference that is expected to take place this week.
“To this end, the ANC wishes Cde Mpho a speedy recovery and requests that we give the family and the ANC space to provide support to Cde Mpho to ensure his full recovery,” ANC regional coordinator Dada Morero said.
The ANC did not give further details of the accident.
