It was a fairly safe and predictable list of names that emerged from the ANC’s national executive committee meeting in the St George’s Hotel in Irene, near Pretoria, on Monday. The party mostly stuck to its preference of appointing provincial chairpersons as premiers — at least in the provinces where these exist.
In the North West, which is at present being administered by a provincial task team, there was talk of appointing a woman too, but according to the statement issued on Monday night by the ANC’s national executive committee, the premier candidate “will be announced in due course following internal engagements”.
North West was identified as a potential hotspot for violence on election day due to infighting within the ANC, which is riddled with problems such as parallel branches in the province — something detractors blame Mahumapelo for. The process of convening members for an elective conference could take more than just a few months.
The NEC took into consideration a number of “principles and approaches”, which include gender parity, unity and stability in ANC structures, youth and inter-generational mix, experience and integrity, the statement read. The party has, since 2007, preferred to appoint its provincial chairpersons as premiers to promote unity and to avoid “two centres of power”, where the premier is handpicked by the president, but the ANC in the province is run by someone else.
