ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi would announce his executive on Wednesday, despite the impasse in forming a provincial government of unity (PGU).

Addressing the media at the party's headquarters at Luthuli House in Johannesburg, Mbalula said it was "regrettable" that the DA and the ANC had not been able to find each other. 

"We wrote to the DA this morning to ask that we return to the negotiation table and not declare a deadlock. The ANC reiterates our firmly held conviction that the task of setting up a government in the economic heartland of our country is both urgent and overdue," said Mbalula.
