Zuma, 70, secured more than 60 percent of the total votes after six of nine provinces nominated candidates to lead the party for the next five years. The majority came at 2:30 a.m. local time today, when 65 percent of the delegates in the Eastern Cape province, the ANC's second-largest, voted for Zuma. The president has faced internal party divisions, an unemployment crisis and a wave of mining strikes that helped to cut growth in Africa's biggest economy by more than half. Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, who is backed by the Youth League, has criticized the way the country is run. While the provincial nominations aren't binding on the 4,500 party delegates who will vote at the Dec. 16-20 party conference, they're a strong indicator of who will probably win. The percentage of delegates who back Zuma and Motlanthe during the nominations in each province will show who has more support nationwide. Motlanthe said yesterday he's "still agonizing" over whether to run as a candidate if nominated. He may make up some ground in the remaining three provinces. Gauteng, the nation's commercial hub that includes Johannesburg and Pretoria, was the first province to back Motlanthe as the leader to replace Zuma. He won unanimous support from ANC branches in the region, which accounts for 12 percent of votes at the national conference. *KwaZulu-Natal* Zuma received unanimous support this week from his home province of KwaZulu-Natal, which has 22 percent of the voting delegates. Yesterday, he won unanimous backing in Free State, which has 8 percent of the vote, and 96 percent in Mpumalanga, which makes up 11 percent of delegates voting in December. Earlier this week, the ANC military veteran's association and the Women's League agreed to back Zuma, while the Youth League nominated Motlanthe. The three structures each have 1 percent of the vote. *From: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-11-30/south-africa-s-zuma-wins-anc-support-for-second-term-as-leader * -- You are subscribed.
