The African National Congress (ANC) Gauteng Province is confident that the team of women and men that has been assembled in the Gauteng Provincial Government Executive Council and the ANC Caucus Executive in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, is not only formidable but, possesses the necessary experience and set of skills required to vigorously pursue the agenda of Growing Gauteng Together.

We welcome the appointment of a new Executive Council by the Premier of Gauteng Comrade David Makhura and also wish to announce the appointment of Caucus Executive and Committee Chairpersons in the Legislature.

Both the comrades deployed in government and in the legislature constitute what we call Team Gauteng. Through the appointments, a clear message yet has been sent that the ANC has listened to the people of this province when they said they want effective, efficient and faster service delivery.

Team Gauteng brings together women and men, who amongst them, have a wealth of governance experience over a period of time. It is younger, better educated and it introduces renewed energy which can only augur well for the people of Gauteng who ultimately must experience the impact of this team through their daily lived experiences as quality service delivery is accelerated.

Team Gauteng has its work cut out for them, and will have to hit the ground running to make sure that job creation, addressing the housing backlog, tackling crime, overhauling the health system, modernising education, transforming of public transport and eliminating corruption takes centre stage in this term of office.
