Nominations for the top five positions in the ANC Women's League (ANCWL) are expected to be finalised at the conference in Bloemfontein on Friday, the SABC reported.

The race for party president is being contested by the league's secretary general, Bathabile Dlamini, and Gauteng Education MEC Angie Motshega.

Insiders say former Women's League president, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, could be a surprise nomination, the radio report added.

About 4000 delegates are at the league's national four-day conference.
