Masualle ‘inundated with calls’ of support to stand for ANC top-six post

Despite being snubbed by his own province, former Eastern Cape premier Phumulo Masualle says he has been inundated with calls from provincial ANC branches requesting that he stand for a top-six position at the party’s national elective conference in December.  Masualle, who serves as deputy minister of public enterprises, has been officially nominated by KwaZulu-Natal ANC bosses as their preferred candidate to take over from Ace Magashule as the party’s secretary-general.
