Zuma retains ANC presidency
South African president Jacob Zuma scored a thumping victory in an ANC leadership contest yesterday, opening the way for him to lead Africa’s largest economy until 2019.
Zuma won the backing of 75,1 percent of the ANC’s 3 977 voting delegates at a party conference in Bloemfontein, making him the odds-on favourite to retain the presidency after 2014 general elections.
Businessman Cyril Ramaphosa won the deputy presidency of the party with 76,4 percent of the vote in a three-way race, setting him up to become Zuma’s potential eventual successor and country’s president.
The vote took place despite the conference being threatened by right wing extremists.
Police said four men plotted to kill President Zuma, Motlanthe, government ministers and senior party officials. The men were charged with treason and terrorism.
