Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa is set to be the main contender for the party’s top position when the electoral committee announces the outcomes of branch nominations for the top six on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

While Ramaphosa appears to be a shoo-in for the presidency, outstanding integrity committee reports on Phala Phala \u2013 involving him \u2013 and Digital Vibes \u2013 involving his opponent Zweli Mkhize \u2013 could still play a role in the electoral outcome.<\/p>\n

Speaking to News24 on Monday, ANC\u2019s electoral committee secretary Livhuwani Matsila confirmed that the committee was still vetting candidates before giving them the green light on Tuesday to stand for election.<\/p>\n

“We are still in the process of receiving outstanding reports from the integrity commission,” said Matsila, without giving too much detail on the reports in question.<\/p>\n

The integrity commission did not table its reports on Phala Phala and Digital Vibes, among others, at the last ordinary sitting of the ANC\u2019s national executive committee (NEC).<\/p>\n

On Tuesday at noon, the electoral committee will release the consolidated list of candidates who have qualified for nomination at the party\u2019s looming national elective conference.<\/p>\n

Most of the contestation is set for the deputy presidency positions, given the number of senior party members who have raised their hand for the party\u2019s second most influential position.<\/p>\n

Despite the sizable number of people who have availed themselves for this position, it is understood that Paul Mashatile may be leading nominations for the number-two spot.<\/p>\n

Mashatile caused a stir last week when he left the door open for a last-minute bid for the party presidency. This led to KwaZulu-Natal, the ANC\u2019s most influential province in terms of the size of the voting delegation, announcing that it was reconsidering its support for Mashatile\u2019s candidacy for deputy president.<\/p>\n

Another candidate who could make it onto the ballot for deputy presidency is Minister Senzo Mchunu, who has received significant backing from his home province, KZN.<\/p>\n

Mchunu has also been backed by Ramaphosa\u2019s Renew22 caucus for the position.<\/p>\n

Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane has also received backing from his home province.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former ANC KZN secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli, Minister Fikile Mbalula, and Deputy Minister Phumulo Masualle were expected to slug it out for the party\u2019s secretary-general position.<\/p>\n

Nomvula Mokonyane seems to be the leading contender for the ANC’s deputy secretary position. The party\u2019s structures have again proposed a constitutional amendment for the addition of a second deputy secretary position.<\/p>\n

Current ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe has raised his hand for treasurer position, saying he could turn around the party\u2019s ailing finances. That position is being contested by Mzwandile Masina.<\/p>\n
