The ANC in Gauteng has confirmed it instructed its Joburg regional counterparts to withdraw a resolution that sought to have its leadership impose undue influence on the city's entities.
This is despite the Joburg region denying it ever came up with such a controversial stance.
The Mail Guardian recently reported that the ANC's high-ranking leaders in the region had captured Johannesburg entities despite not holding an outright majority in the council.
The new chairs are:
- Maxwell Nedzamba, regional treasurer at Pikitup;
- Makhosini Kharodi at City Power;
- Bruce Serala at Johannesburg Water;
- Julius Maputla at the Johannesburg Development Agency;
- Simon Motha at the Johannesburg Property Company; and
- Nandipha Zonela at Johannesburg Tourism.
In the post-PEC lekgotla briefing on Monday, provincial secretary TK Nciza said their alarms were raised as soon as they got wind of the regional executive committee resolution, which they halted.
