The race to succeed President Jacob Zuma has begun in earnest with the ANC Women's League last night officially endorsing Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as its candidate‚ the newspaper reported.
The announcement by the league came just a day after Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa threw down the gauntlet‚ calling for lifestyle audits "right at the core at the top of the leadership"‚ in what is seen in ANC circles as a snipe at Zuma.
Ramaphosa has previously indicated that he intends succeeding Zuma as ANC president in December. But Zuma and his followers want Dlamini-Zuma‚ who is currently chairwoman of the African Union Commission‚ to become the country's first female president.
Dlamini-Zuma's campaign for the top job was boosted last night when the women's league named her as its candidate‚ the report stated.
