Don’t follow me follow the birds.” Lesufi was elected as the new Gauteng ANC Chairperson last week and he is also Gauteng MEC of education.

Lesufi played a vital role in bringing back Moroka Swallows FC into the Premier Soccer League (PSL) after it was relagated to the ABC Motsepe league two seasons ago. He is said to own a stake in the Soweto based team.
