Centurion over the weekend, saw the election of a mixed bag of leaders from<\/p>\n

each of the two slates that were vying for control of the region.Two candidates from Morero\u2019s “Fire Brigade”<\/p>\n

slate won their preferred positions. ANC spokesperson for the region, Sasabona<\/p>\n

Manganye, was elected regional secretary, while Simon Motha became deputy<\/p>\n

chairperson.Mgcina, part of the “Unity of Purpose” or<\/p>\n

“Spirit” slate, and initially vying for the deputy chairperson<\/p>\n

position, lost her bid to lead the region.This slate had been led by former Joburg mayor Mpho Moerane,<\/p>\n

who died after suffering injuries in a car accident in May.Loyiso Masuku, from the Spirit slate, was elected<\/p>\n

as deputy regional secretary. Maxwell Nedzamba, also from Spirit, was elected<\/p>\n

debated credentials late into Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The participation of one branch caused concerns<\/p>\n

among delegates, as it still had an outstanding dispute.The most significant development of the night came<\/p>\n

with nominations, as Morero was initially unopposed in his election. He had<\/p>\n

been nominated alongside Moerane.Mgcina, who had initially met the threshold to<\/p>\n

contest the deputy chairperson position, was nominated from the floor by the<\/p>\n

ANC Women\u2019s League. There was a solid push from branches that supported her.READ| ANC Joburg conference: Will<\/p>\n

region’s push for a woman leader see Eunice Mgcina elected as chairperson?So strong was the push that a signature song,<\/p>\n

“Woman on top”, trended among delegates when she accepted her<\/p>\n

nomination. Mgcina decided to turn down her nomination as deputy chairperson<\/p>\n

and only compete for the chairperson position.Her loyalty to her slate largely influenced<\/p>\n

Mgcina\u2019s decision, News24 was told.Masuku will be the only woman serving in the top<\/p>\n

five of the region.While addressing delegates, ANC Gauteng chairperson<\/p>\n

David Makhura told them to bicker less about political positions and focus on winning Johannesburg back.<\/p>\n
