ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has dismissed reports that party veteran Frank Chikane has withdrawn from the race to become the ANC's mayoral candidate for Johannesburg, saying he remains among those being considered for the position.
African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has dismissed as a lie reports that ANC veteran Frank Chikane has withdrawn from the race to become the party's mayoral candidate for Johannesburg.
Mbalula was speaking on the sidelines of the party's announcement of its mayoral candidates for eight metros and 44 district municipalities at the Sandton International Convention Centre on Saturday.
Mbalula clarified that the party will only unveil potential mayoral candidates, rather than actual candidates.
He said the party will announce its mayoral candidates in September.
