ANC to discuss premiers at special NEC meeting
The African National Congress (ANC) has convened a special national executive committee meeting in Irene outside Pretoria.
This is the first time the ANC’s top officials are meeting since the general elections.
The party won eight provinces, excluding the Western Cape.
"We will give our recommendations (for provincial premiers) to the national working committee. So far, provinces have given us three names each to choose from, we will also discuss the opposition leader in the Western Cape,” said secretary-general Ace Magashule.

Some of the implicated ministers, such as Nomvula Mokonyane and Bathabile Dlamini, still appear on the party's parliamentary list.
