But former provincial secretary Nciza, who was the party’s leader in the province, was nowhere to be seen.

While Eyewitness News understands Nciza will not hold a top position in the provincial task team, his absence on Wednesday has raised questions about his stance on the restructured Gauteng leadership.

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said the leadership changes in Gauteng are necessary.

“We have to really recover from the lost ground and to ensure that the electoral outcomes that we suffered are recovered.”

Nciza is the only ANC leader in Gauteng who has snubbed Wednesday’s meeting.
