Lindiwe Sisulu tapped for top post─── 12:08 Sun, 09 Oct 2016
Johannesburg - Human Settlements Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, has refused to be drawn into speculation that she will be throwing her hat in the ring as leader of the governing party.
The daughter of ANC stalwart, Walter Sisulu, told City Press in an interview that she would like a female party president to be elected on merit, but she declined to substantiate talk that her name may be put forward for the post.
She also added that electing a token female leader would not result in the breakthrough that was needed.
City Press further reports that there are some ANC members who are trying to persuade Sisulu to stand for the position because they believe she is the perfect candidate, considering her struggle credentials, her seniority in the party and experience in government.
