10 August 2016
The ANC Gauteng Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) met on Monday 08 August 2016 to assess the outcome of the 2016 Local Government Elections and to map a way forward.
The PEC expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the people of Gauteng for coming out to vote and to participate in the latest elections. Once again the ANC has received enough votes to continue to be the majority party in the province.
We are humbled that we have been entrusted with the responsibility to continue to implement our programme of radical socio-economic transformation in the West Rand District Municipality, Merafong Local Municipality, Rand West City Local Municipality, Sedibeng District Municipality, Emfuleni Local Municipality and Lesedi Local Municipality.
The PEC is concerned that in the City of Ekurhuleni, City of Joburg, City of Tshwane and Mogale City Local Municipality, the ANC did not receive more than 50% of the votes.
