The African National Congress (ANC) remains firmly committed to the renewal and strengthening of the movement in Gauteng, ensuring that the organisation continues to be an effective vehicle for transformation and development. The National Executive Committee (NEC) has taken a strategic decision to reconfigure the provincial structures, reinforcing leadership in a way that builds on experience while embracing new energy.

Gauteng holds immense historical and political significance as the centre of the struggle against apartheid and the host province of the ANC’s National Headquarters, Luthuli House. It was in this province that key moments of resistance, including the 1976 Soweto Uprising and the mass defiance campaigns of the 1980s, shaped the course of South Africa’s liberation.

Today, Gauteng remains a vital political battleground where the ANC must consolidate its leadership to advance transformation. The NEC acknowledges the discipline and unwavering commitment demonstrated by ANC structures and members during this period of transition, reaffirming the strength and resilience of the movement in the province.

The decision to reconfigure Gauteng’s leadership was not taken as a punitive measure against the PEC for losing elections. Rather, it is a response to the need to ensure the ANC’s organisational effectiveness in the country’s most populous and economically significant province.

The 41% national vote outcome in the 2024 elections was heavily influenced by results in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, making these two provinces central to the ANC’s overall renewal and recovery strategy.

The NEC engaged in extensive deliberations to determine the best course of action, ensuring that the intervention was politically necessary and constitutionally sound.

The reconfiguration process is not a departure from the ANC Constitution but is in fact aligned with its provisions. The NEC has acted within the framework of Rule 12.2.2, 12.2.3, and 12.2.4 of the ANC Constitution, which mandates the NEC to ensure the effective functioning of ANC structures.

The decision reflects the ANC’s commitment to constitutionalism and the rule of law. The immediate task in Gauteng is to rebuild ANC branches, Leagues, and structures so that they are actively engaged in local

development and responsive to the needs of communities.The ANC brand and communications must be strengthened to reaffirm the organisation’s leadership role

in the province. Ethical leadership and discipline will be prioritised to address corruption, construction and human settlement extortions, crime, deepening economic transformation that benefits our people and gender-based violence.

Preparations for the 2026 Local Government Elections will be a key focus, with the objective of reclaiming lost ground and ensuring the ANC remains at the centre of governance in the province. The NEC has resolved that the Provincial Task Team (PTT) will oversee these objectives and work towards stabilising the organisation and preparing it for future electoral contests.

The leadership collective being put in place will integrate the current PEC into an interim structure, reinforced with former leaders and veterans, to provide guidance and ensure continuity. This intervention seeks to strengthen the ANC’s capacity in the province and deepen its connection with communities and key sectors of society.
