At the 2022 conference, the ANC Greater Johannesburg region heavyweight vied with Morero for the chairperson position and lost by 10 votes

Dada Morero has said he will stand for a second term as the Greater Joburg chair

Six names have been touted for the position of deputy chair, and three for the position of regional secretary

The ruling party is scheduled to start interviewing prospective metro mayors this weekend with some usual suspects on the list

Sources say that the PEC gave the nod to the three names put forward by the Johannesburg regional executive committee

The ANC will likely announce a candidate to take over as the city’s mayor next week after consultation with provincial and national leaders
