Two nominees have emerged for the top position of President of the ANC at Nasrec in Johannesburg where the party is electing its new leaders. They are President Cyril Ramaphosa and Zweli Mkhize. After a delay in balloting as the party struggled to complete the registration of more than 4,500 delegates, several candidates were nominated from the floor for what is now the top 7 of the ANC, with a new position of a second secretary-general. Prof Richard Calland, political analyst and law professor at the University of Cape Town, told BizNews that Ramaphosa and Mkize appear to be neck-and-neck in the race for President and that horse trading was taking place behind the scenes to persuade candidates not to split the votes of the Ramaphosa camp. He also gave a glimpse of what a Mkhize presidency could look like should he manage to pip Ramaphosa to the post. Calland says whoever wins: the ANC is tired and unable to grapple with the country's challenges. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Die ANC-president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die party se 55ste Nasionale Konferensie is 'n waterskeidingsoomblik vir die beweging en vir die hele land. Ramaphosa het die presidensiële gala-dinee by Nasrec, Johannesburg, toegespreek. Die ANC hou van vandag af tot Dinsdag sy nasionale verkiesingskonferensie.

Die Black Business Council het by die ANC se verkiesingskonferensie gepleit om beurtkrag beslissend te hanteer om die ekonomie en werksgeleenthede te red. Die land is tans op fase 5-beurtkrag, wat die ekonomie ongeveer drie tot vier miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand per dag kos. Die politieke ontleder, Ralph Mathekga, sê die ANC moet nie politiek betrek in die oplossing vir Eskom se uitdagings en die huidige kragkrisis op die komende 55ste nasionale verkiesingskonferensie in Nasrec nie.
The ANC caucus in Parliament managed to ward off a rebellion against President Cyril Ramaphosa with only 5 of its members of parliament voting for the adoption of the Section 89 panel report on the Phala Phala theft that found that he may have violated the Constitution. Notably voting in favour of proceeding with impeachment was his arch-rival for top positions in the ANC, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Conspicuously absent from voting was Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu and the man who plans to challenge Ramaphosa for the ANC leadership, Zweli Mkhize. It means the obstacles have been cleared for him to stand as president of the ANC for another 5 years when the organisation convenes at Nasrec, near Soweto for its 55th National Conference on Friday. At his election in December 2017, Ramaphosa said he would focus on tackling corruption and that he was the unity candidate. Ramaphosa essentially made a deal to hold the ANC together, but the deal prevented him from making big decisions that he needed to make to take the country forward - and his decision to keep his friends close and his enemies closer almost cost him the presidency. Political analyst Prof Theo Venter from the University of Johannesburg told Biznews he believes President Ramaphosa will emerge victorious to lead the ANC for a second term. Venter expects the biggest battle to be for the position of deputy president of the ANC, as the candidate would become president should Ramaphosa's Phala Phala theft force him to fall on his sword. - Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.

The much-anticipated ANC national conference takes place next week at Nasrec in Johannesburg. Apart from providing policy direction for the organisation, one of the key tasks of the conference will be to choose a new party leadership. But unfortunately for the party, none of its nominated leaders join the fray without the lingering stink of scandal and accusation. In today's episode of the Sunday Times Politics Weekly, we look at key individuals who have been proposed by ANC branches for leadership, who may also end up as the country's leadership, and unpack some of the controversy and allegations surrounding the top names. Joining our host Mike Siluma, are Associate Professor at the School of Governance at Wits University William Gumede and Sunday Times politics writer Zimasa Matiwane.

'n Professor by die Wits-leerskool vir Regeerkunde, William Gumede, sê die ANC gaan later die maand na sy 55ste verkiesingskonferensie by Nasrec, Johannesburg, as 'n verdeelde party. Die ANC-president, Cyril Ramaphosa, staar 'n moontlike staat van beskuldiging in die gesig oor bevindings teen hom in die Phala Phala-verslag. Gumede sê die ander ANC-presidentskandidaat, Zweli Mkhize, staar bewerings van korrupsie in die gesig weens die Digital Vibes-skandaal.
Die minister van finansies in die buurland, Enoch Godongwana, sê hy verwag dat president Cyril Ramaphosa in sy pos sal aanbly. Dit volg ná die bevindinge van 'n Artikel 89-paneel dat die president vrae moet beantwoord oor die Phala Phala-skandaal. Die minister sê die president bly die dryfveer in Suid-Afrika se poging om die elektrisiteit-sektor uit te brei. Hy sê ook hy hoop Ramaphosa sal 'n tweede termyn as president van die ANC sowel as president van die land kry. Intussen is die spesiale vergadering van die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee in Nasrec in Johannesburg, uitgestel om die nasionale werkskomitee kans te gee om die verslag oor die Phala Phala-saak te hersien. Sommige NUK-lede, waaronder ministers Nkosozana Dlamini-Zuma en Lindiwe Sisulu, het 'n beroep op Ramaphosa gedoen om opsy te staan

'n Lid van die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee, Tony Yengeni, sê President Cyril Ramaphosa verdien nie om vir 'n tweede termyn te dien nie.

Our partners at the Financial Times have a fantastic podcast episode that tracks the fortunes of President Cyril Ramaphosa since he took over the reins of power from embattled former head of state Jacob Zuma. While Ramaphosa's 2017 Nasrec win at the ANC's elective conference came with much fanfare about South Africa being on the precipice of a new dawn - it wasn't to last with the sitting head of state now dogged by his own Phala Phala skeletons, while his party faced spirally fortunes in last year's local government elections and what promises to be a bruising time in the upcoming national elections in 2024. In the Rachman Review, the FT's chief foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman chats to writer and political activist Songezo Zibi - who's the chairman of the think-tank the Rivonia Circle - a man who may one day plan to run for the highest office in the land. The next 30 minutes an interrogation of a South Africa run by what Zibi believes is an ANC not only morally bankrupt but intellectually starved. Learn more about your ad choices.

Die president van die ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa, sê die regerende party se vernuwing kan nie gekeer word nie. Hy het die slotrede gegee op die laaste dag van die ANC se sesde nasionale beleidskonferensie by Nasrec, suid van Johannesburg. Ramaphosa sê afgevaardigdes het besluit om die party se waardes en kultuur te vernuwe en om beslissend op te tree teen korrupsie en onaanvaarbare gedrag:
Suid-Afrikaanse President Cyril Ramaphosa het 'n beroep op ANC-lede gedoen om saam te staan in die vernuwing van die party deur korrupsie uit te roei asook om 'n beleid te skep wat die ekonomie sal laat groei. Ramaphosa het sy openingstoespraak op die party se sesde nasionale beleidskonferensie by die Nasrec-sentrum gelewer. Hy sê die konferensie sal besin oor werkloosheid, werkskepping en verskeie ander uitdagings waarmee Suid-Afrikaners te kampe het.
Suid-Afrikaanse President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die ANC se sesde nasionale beleidskonferensie in Johannesburg sal soek na oplossings vir die onderskeie uitdagings waarvoor die land te staan gekom het, sowel as omvattende beleid.
