ANC closer to deciding whether President Cyril Ramaphosa or a rival will have its blessing to run for the country’s top job in 2024
South Africa’s ruling African National Congress was nominating candidates for its leader on Saturday, inching closer to deciding whether President Cyril Ramaphosa or a rival will have its blessing to run for the country’s top job in 2024 elections.
The ANC’s presidential candidate has been a shoo-in for the country’s top job ever since the party’s leading light Nelson Mandela ended white minority rule in 1994. The conference had been due to make a final decision on the candidacy on Saturday, but owing to delays and disagreements, by 23:45 local time on Saturday, the nomination process for deciding the candidates whom delegates can vote for was only just starting.
The strongest challenger from Zuma’s camp is Mkhize, whom Ramaphosa put on special leave last year in the wake of allegations that his department irregularly awarded COVID-19-related contracts to a company controlled by his former associates. Mkhize denies wrongdoing.
