Why Gauteng ANC Branches Should Endorse Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko 

At the confluence of time demanding clarity, courage, and clean governance, Gauteng ANC branches have the opportunity to signal a decisive break from factional paralysis and reputational drift. Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko represents not just continuity of struggle, but a sharpened commitment to ethical leadership, service delivery, and the dignity of our people.

Proven Leadership Rooted in Service ,

Nomantu’s tenure as MEC for Health has been marked by:

Stabilization of key health portfolios under immense pressure

Visible responsiveness to community needs, especially in under-resourced areas

A refusal to politicize public health, focusing instead on outcomes and accountability

Her leadership style is grounded in humility, discipline, and a refusal to be drawn into the theatrics of factionalism. That alone is a breath of fresh air.

She has proven that any National Dialogue that is not dialogical can only be diabolical.

A Woman of the Movement, Not the Moment

Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko is not a parachuted technocrat nor a populist opportunist. She is a cadre shaped by the trenches of struggle, the rigours of governance, and the quiet labour of building institutions. Her rise is not a media invention conjured up in the thin Gauteng air — it is the result of decades of principled work on the dense Gauteng ground. Her many leadership accomplishments remind us that leadership is not about perfection but about purpose.

Endorsing her is not just about gender representation,but it is about restoring credibility to the ANC in Gauteng through leadership that is competent, clean, and connected to the grassroots.

A Strategic Asset in the Battle for 2026

With national elections looming, Gauteng cannot afford internal drift or reputational baggage. Nomantu Nkomo Ralehoko offers:

The leadership to move from organisation to mobilisation

A stabilizing presence amid political volatility

Cross-generational appeal, especially among women and youth

A long track record of service delivery, not just public rhetoric

Her leadership would send a clear message: Gauteng ANC is serious about governance, unity,transparency, accountability and renewal.

The Call to Branches

This is not a time for passive observation. Branches must assert their voice ,not as rubber stamps, but as custodians of the ANC’s century old integrity. Endorsing Nomantu Nkomo Ralehoko is a vote for:

Clean governance

Grassroots accountability

A future ANC that honours its past without being trapped by it i.e. strategic leadership

Let Gauteng lead by example. Let the branches speak with clarity. Let Nomantu rise — not as a compromise, but with conviction in a new guise.
