'It will be good for the stability of the country to have [Ramaphosa] continue [as president].' Moneyweb SouthAfrica politics ANC
A campaign for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to retain the leadership of the ruling African National Congress when it holds internal elections in December is gathering momentum, with some key party officials throwing their weight behind him. “There is an emerging consensus that the president must get a second term,” Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola, who sits on the ANC’s national executive committee, said in an interview.
“I have always responded positively to calls by ANC structures” to serve the party, Lamola said. “It is in the ANC’s interests to have a generational mix in its structures to signal to society and to itself that there is a moment of renewal.” Ramaphosa will turn 70 in November, while all the other party’s top five officials are over 60.
