The African National Congress (ANC) is on Monday holding interviews for the mayoral candidates in municipalities where the party has won with an outright majority.

The party’s top brass are at Luthuli House, in Johannesburg, where the interviews are set to take place.

This initiative was recently announced by ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa, saying that the ANC now needs candidates who have the skills and expertise in leading at local government level.

Just before the local government elections, the ANC took the initiative and interviewed three candidates for the position of mayor at the City of Johannesburg.

Among them was the late Jolidee Matongo, who became the mayor.

ANC Deputy President, David Mabuza made it clear during the campaign for the recent municipal elections that they will not be announcing mayoral candidates until after the elections.

The party is expected to announce those who made the cut to become mayors.

Prior to municipal elections, ANC Deputy Secretary-General Jessie Duarte said mayors won’t be chosen based on their popularity
