Panyaza Lesufi is set for a return as Gauteng premier should the ANC manage to retain power after the coalition talks now under way.
The ANC on Thursday announced its premier candidates after interviews conducted early this week.
As expected, Phophi Ramathuba has also been announced as the ANC premier candidate in Limpopo where the party garnered 74% in the May 29 polls, with Zamani Saul set to be retained in the Northern Cape with the help of minority parties after failing to garner an outright majority.
The ANC has also announced Oscar Mabuyane will return to power in the Eastern Cape.
The announcement of premier candidates by the ANC has come with an unexpected turn.
