LIVE: Tense vote count as S.Africa’s ANC elects new leader
Johannesburg, South Africa | AFP | LIVE | Vote counting began Monday after thousands of delegates from South Africa’s ruling ANC party cast ballots to choose their next leader, in an election seen as a decisive moment in the country’s post-apartheid history.
There are only two candidates in the hotly-contested race: Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, a wealthy businessman, and former minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who is President Jacob Zuma’s ex-wife.
Whoever wins will be well-placed to be South Africa’s next president in the 2019 general election.
