On Monday, it was reported the 64-year-old Limpopo premier had jumped the gun after ascending the stage when welcoming the president during the party’s anniversary shindig at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane two weeks ago. He said the province would back Ramaphosa for a second term at the party’s 55th national elective conference.
“We are the first region to hold a regional conference and the only one in the province to be addressed by president Ramaphosa,” said Norman Mashabane ANC regional secretary Goodman Mitileni on Monday. “The agreement was that we will wait for the official nomination process to open and when that time comes, Sekhukhune will 100% rally behind president ‘Matamela’ [Ramaphosa].
“The problem is not the timing for the pronouncement but the real fight is who should pronounce Limpopo’s endorsement first,” said the source.
