Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma for ANC President

Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is the front runner for the ANC presidential race at the party 54th National Conference scheduled for December in Gauteng. The party presidential race has attracted an unprecedented number of candidates in its modern history.

Seven candidates,  including current Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa,  are vying for the position.  However the race is really between Dlamini-Zuma and Ramaphosa,  with the former in pole position.

Dlamini-Zuma's candidature is endorsed by the Women’s and Youth Leagues of the ANC, including the Veterans Association. Ramaphosa is the candidate of COSATU and SACP who do not send voting delegates to conference and therefore carry no weight to influence election outcomes.

Dlamini-Zuma has a prestigious pedigree in struggle, government and in African politics. She cut her political teeth in the Black Consciousness Movement of Steve Biko. She joined and worked for the ANC in exile. She has served in the cabinet as Ministers of Health,  Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

She also had a term as the Chairperson of the African Union Commission where she did her bit for the continent.

Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has what it takes and more to be President of the ANC and Country. Under her leadership the ANC and Country will be in good hands. On this score there is no doubt. She looms large over all candidates,  she is the candidate to  beat in the race for the ANC presidency.

In a nutshell, it is Dlamini-Zuma and the others who don't stand out in the struggle or in government.  It is a  case of Dlamini-Zuma, Dlamini-Zuma and Dlamini-Zuma.
