To balance gender in the positions, the ANC is proud to report that they have 24 women in the Mayors & Deputy Mayors positions and 21 Speakers. They have 18 men in the mayors and 16 men in the Speakers positions. All candidates were extensively scrutinized by the interviewing panels to ensure they meet the requirements.

The ANC says “their collective governance skills, political experience, leadership capability, management and technical skills to execute the people’s mandate and the ANC’s commitment to gender equality will help us a great deal in driving the program for good governance and deliver quality services to our communities. This is an undisputable demonstration of the ANC’s commitment to advancing our mission to create a non-sexist society and build together better communities.”

“We have no doubt that all the comrades will carry out their political responsibilities to the best of their abilities, whilst putting the needs of our communities first.” Says the ANC PEC provincial spokesperson in the province
