- An internal document supports Tokyo Sexwale as a leading candidate for ANC president due to his struggle and leadership background.
- Sexwale’s history as an Umkhonto we Sizwe cadre and Robben Island prisoner highlights his lifelong commitment to ANC values.
- His previous roles as Gauteng Premier and national Human Settlements Minister demonstrate significant political and administrative expertise.
- The ANC emphasizes no official backing of Motsepe’s campaign and discourages leadership contests before local elections.
There is nothing in the ANC called the Motsepe campaign. We don't have something called the Motsepe campaign nor do we have personality contests. We have a process in the ANC that is internal that helps the members of the ANC decide on who must lead. The ANC is preoccupied with who is going to be candidates for local government elections.— Nomvula Mokonyane, ANC's first Secretary-General, speaking on the sidelines of the introduction of the new KwaZulu-Natal provincial and regional task teams.
