The African National Congress named its candidates for premiers in the nine provinces this week, after a national working committee meeting of the ruling party was held in Cape Town. It is the first time that candidates have only been named after the election, which the ANC won with a landslide victory. The ANC will take the premierships in all nine provinces for the first time since democracy in 1994.
