Today, 18 December 2017, the new leadership for the ANC is being decided. The new ANC President is to be decided by the ANC electorate while meeting over the last weekend. The nominated parties for the President position is Cyril Ramaphosa and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma...
Cyril Ramaphosa (CR)
Held throughout South-Africa as the favourite, Deputy president of South-Africa and the ANC, CR is held with a lot of respect amongst many in the population of South-Africa as well as within the ANC itself. He is a successful businessman and powerful Trade Union leader and would, in my opinion, help stabilise the current economic crisis that South-Africa faces...
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (NDZ)
Wife of the current President of South-Africa and the ANC, Jacob Zuma, and former Chairperson of the African Union, NDZ is no stranger to politics. She has the fervent support of the ANC woman's league and the Youth league, however, her career is mired in controversy and political blunders. Her brand of politics seems to mirror that of Jacob Zuma as she campaigns on a platform of radical economic reformation. Economists and businesses alike hate her and many in the public are questioning whether another Zuma would be able to lead the country forward.
