The ruling African National Congress denied on Monday that President Thabo Mbeki had asked, and failed, to get the support of the party s leadership for a third term as ANC president.

The saga of Jacob Zuma is one that will remain in the history of South Africa for a long, long time. I'm tempted to predict his downfall, but South African politics prove to be unpredictable. Still, Zuma as a president might be a good thing.
I missed the apartheid bus, more so than the majority of South Africans my age. A lot of people in their twenties are being reminded of the former regime's sins through their parents.
We like to call our country a democratic one. One with all the institutions and processes that define a democracy.

While it was important for the government to give priority to blacks when it came to the distribution of resources, this could lead to the polarisation of the country along racial lines, a political analyst says.
FOR those observing the succession race unfolding in the African National Congress (ANC), weekend reports suggesting Cyril Ramaphosa is in the running to replace President Thabo Mbeki as ANC president next year are hardly surprising.
SAfm radio presenter John Perlman's on-air revelation that the SABC has blacklisted certain commentators who cannot be relied upon to sing the praises of the ANC government is sadly not surprising.
