Khawe said that he hoped to emerge as a compromise candidate acceptable to both factions.[19] However, when the party elective conference was held in June 2022, Khawe was resoundingly defeated, earning only 56 votes against Kunene's 525 votes and Nciza's 534.[20] He also failed to gain election as an ordinary member of the ANC's Provincial Executive Committee.[1]

Khawe was formerly married to fellow Gauteng politicians Khusela Diko (née Sangoni) and, until her death in November 2019, Thuliswa Nkabinde-Khawe.[21][22][23] In December 2020, he married his third wife, Nthabeleng Khabutlana, a businesswoman from the Free State.[24][21]
