The African National Congress (ANC) at the weekend announced its mayor candidates for the upcoming local government elections, set for 3 August.
The current Executive Mayor Mpho Parks Tau will once again be the ANC’s City of Joburg (CoJ) mayoral candidate.
Gwede Mantashe, the ANC’s secretary general, said in a statement that the party is satisfied and confident “that these mayoral candidates presented consists of some of the best comrades among our ranks to advance our programme of radical socio-economic transformation”.
Mantashe asked for the support of all of the party’s structures and communities in support of an “overwhelming” victory for the ANC in the elections.

The Economic Freedom Fighters have yet to release their candidates for the metropolitan municipalities.
