With Panyaza Lesufi now declared the winner of the ANC’s contest in Gauteng, many questions will emerge in the coming days, the most important of which is whether he can keep the party together, and in power, in South Africa’s powerhouse province.

Is it really possible for the ANC to retain Gauteng in 2024?

All these points expose the litany of issues facing Lesufi in the next few months, even before we start talking about the monumental delivery failure of the ANC’s provincial government, made even more unbearable through a string of the PPE corruption scandals in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time he was able to work well with Mashatile and others. At times he appeared to have a firm hand on the dial. And these were not easy times for the party in the province.

This dynamic culminated in 2016 when, as Gauteng leader, Mashatile attended a Save SA event directed at defending then finance minister Pravin Gordhan against Zuma. As, “…this was a big move, a middle finger extended at JZ, who was at that moment cowering in Zimbabwe, trying to secure Robert Mugabe…”

There are many reasons for this, but in particular Gauteng, as the most urbanised province, has often been the place where national and local dynamics have intermingled to the ANC’s cost.
