The ANC has taken a hardline stance against succession talk‚ calling on both Cyril Ramaphosa and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to distance themselves from “premature” leadership endorsements.
Monday’s call by the party’s national spokesman Zizi Kodwa followed the ANC Women’s League’s public endorsement of outgoing African Union Commission chairwoman Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as its preferred candidate to succeed President Jacob Zuma.
The league’s national executive committee made the pronouncement in defiance of a special ANC leadership meeting that barred the party and its affiliated organisations from making such pronouncements.
Zuma’s term expires in December 2017.
The ANC is battling to contain factional politics in the party ahead of its elective conference from December 16 to 20.
