Ramaphosa set for presidential nod from ANC in Gauteng
23 November 2017
Johannesburg - The ANC in Gauteng looks set to officially nominate Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa when the province holds its provincial general council next weekend.
Ramaphosa’s rival, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has performed poorly in the province, getting less than 60 branch nominations, with the process near completion.
Despite hard campaigning, the other presidential hopefuls have failed to perform, with only two branches not nominating the two front runners.
An official tally of the nomination process, seen by News24, shows that Dlamini-Zuma has only managed 55 branch nominations while Ramaphosa received a whopping 383.
