Former president Thabo Mbeki might return to Parliament as an MP if certain branches of the ANC in Gauteng have their way.
Mbeki�s name appeared on the province�s list of 200 candidates for the National Assembly, The Star reported. The newspaper said the list was filled with names of people said to be President Jacob Zuma�s political rivals.
Gauteng also nominated Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to be an MP.
Members of Mbeki Cabinet � former public works minister Thoko Didiza and former provincial and local government minister Sydney Mufamadi - also made the list.
The ANC�s national list conference is due to start in Irene, south of Pretoria on Monday.
