Zuma to Face Leadership Challenge
South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma will face a challenge for the leadership of the ANC next week from his deputy, Kgalema Motlanthe.
Mr Motlanthe’s spokesman Thabo Masebe said that Mr Motlanthe had accepted his nomination to stand as ANC leader.
Mr Zuma has received most nominations, but his critics say he has failed to tackle South Africa’s problems.
The African National Congress leader will be overwhelming favorite to win elections due in 2014.
The ANC has gained more than 60% of the vote in each of the national elections held since the end of white minority rule in 1994.
But it is facing increasing accusations that it is not doing enough to boost economic growth, or to combat corruption.
Mr Masebe said Mr Motlanthe had agreed to run for the ANC leadership after being nominated by the most branches in three of South Africa’s nine provinces.
