Zuko Godlimpi is likely to go head-to-head with former Congress of South African Students (Cosas) president, Collen Malatji, who is the current frontrunner.
The Eastern Cape will be at the centre stage later this month at the upcoming conference of the ANC Youth League, with the province pushing one of its own to be the league’s president.
While ANC Youth League branches across the country are expected to make pronouncements on June 12 on the candidates they will take to congress, the Chris Hani region’s Aphiwe Mkhangelwa has put his hand up for the presidency post.
