The appointment of Comrade Modise as the PEC Head of Communication / Spokesperson follows the decision of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) at its ordinary meeting on Saturday, 24 August, to effect changes to its subcommittees. The outcomes of the 2019 general elections and the subsequent establishment of the 6th Administration has resulted in some of the PEC members who were chairing subcommittees being assigned responsibilities in the administration and in the legislature.

Comrade Modise is a PEC member and is currently deployed as a
Member of the Provincial Legislature in Gauteng and the Chairperson of the Infrastructure Committee in the legislature. He brings with him a wealth of organisational experience into the role having served in several structures of the movement.  As a youth activist, with rooted foundations from COSAS, he started leading from an early age in school as a class representative, becoming an SRC member, Deputy President and ultimately the organisation’s President. He has been a leader in the ANC Youth League with vested ties to community development programmes beyond political boundaries and has served as the league’s Provincial Secretary.

The PEC made the following changes to subcommittees:
•    Communications Subcommittee – Cde Bones Modise (Previously chaired by Cde Tasneem Motara).
•    Economic Transformation Subcommittee - Cde Kedibone Diale (Previously Cde Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa)
•    Education and Health Subcommittee – Cde Dr Rebecca Digamela (Previously was chaired by Cde Dr Bandile Masuku)
•    Cultural and Religious Affairs Subcommittee (the name has been changed to align with the national subcommittee) – Cde Craig Cornish (Previously chaired by Cde Dr Rebecca Digamela)
•    Political Education and Training Subcommittee – Cde Tshilidzi Munyai (Previously chaired by Cde Jacob Khawe)

The ANC in Gauteng wishes all comrades well in their new deployments. We believe that they will use their skills and talents to  contribute towards the fulfilment of our manifesto commitments in line with the vision of Growing Gauteng Together.

Comrade Bones Modise is contactable on 082 545 5553.
