ANC presidential contender Zweli Mkhize has taken a swipe at President Cyril Ramaphosa, saying the country cannot afford 'another five years of directionless leadership'.
Others reportedly in the running include deputy president David Mabuza, suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule, treasurer-general Paul Mashatile, tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu, former treasurer-general Mathews Phosa and co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. , Mkhize’s branch chairperson S’bu Mkhize said the decision to back the former minister was easy.
“We thought our job as his branch would be to convince comrades from other branches he is the best man for the job. However, things happened in reverse because comrades came to us asking that we support him for president,” he said. He said many branches in the province wanted Mkhize to lead, and this assured them he is the best man for the job.Support independent journalism by subscribing to the
