Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The ANC Women’s League national task team has voted to throw its support behind President Cyril Ramaphosa as their candidate for the ANC presidency in December.<\/p>\n

The tentative leadership structure of the Women’s League said they supported Defence Minister Thandi Modise to be Ramaphosa’s deputy.<\/p>\n

The top structure of the Women’s League did not vote for Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who had raised her hand for the job. They supported her candidature in 2017.<\/p>\n

The boost for Ramaphosa’s re-election from the Women’s League came after the ANC Youth League opted for former health minister Zweli Mkhize as their candidate for the presidency.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula got the nod from both the Women’s League and the Youth League for the secretary-general position. This was seen as a massive boost for his campaign to take charge at the ANC’s headquarters, Luthuli House.<\/p>\n

The Women’s League expressed support for Gwede Mantashe to serve a second term as national chairperson. The Youth League opted for Limpopo chairperson Stanley Mathabatha for that position.<\/p>\n

The Women’s League opted for three candidates to be women, with Febe Potgieter as their candidate for the deputy secretary-general position. They want the party’s treasurer-general to be Gwen Ramokgopa.<\/p>\n
