Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ANC Gauteng executive member Lebogang Maile has officially launched his campaign to take over the reins of the ANC in the province.<\/p>\n

Maile, who is the MEC for cooperative governance and traditional affairs, launched his campaign in Hammanskraal on Friday.<\/p>\n

He is set to take on ANC deputy chairperson Panyaza Lesufi at the provincial elective conference which will be held in June.<\/p>\n

Electoral support for the ANC in Gauteng has declined over the years, with the party narrowly winning the province in the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n

This electoral decline will likely shape the direction of the ANC’s campaign season.<\/p>\n

Both Lesufi and Maile have pushed a message of renewal as part of their campaigns.<\/p>\n

Maile told supporters at the gathering in Hammanskraal a new political era in the province was needed.<\/p>\n

“We are going to a regional conference and a provincial conference, and our rallying call is that we want to usher a new era in the politics of the ANC in Gauteng.<\/p>\n

“We are talking about ‘adiwele’ because people want change. When we go to the ANC conference, let it be the battle of ideas.”<\/p>\n

He said a call for younger leadership in the ANC was not about chasing away older members, adding the party had to reflect the changing dynamics in the country.<\/p>\n
