Zuma’s Chances of Any ANC Leadership Role Dwindling Fast

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Following yesterday’s news that the leaders of KZN’s provincial ANC has endorsed Zweli Mkhize as the foremost candidate to run for party leadership in December, News24 write that Zuma’s hopes in the leadership are all but over, despite his openness to the chair position earlier in the week.
  • Health minister Phaahla is to brief lawmakers today on the impact of load-shedding, but is expected to focus primarily on the impacts on hospitals and healthcare, amid calls to exclude key infrastructure from power cuts.
  • No key releases due Wednesday, with focus instead on the political machinations behind the ANC leadership contest in December and Ramaphosa’s address to lawmakers tomorrow, in which he’s expected to announce an overhaul of the Eskom board in a bid to end the load-shedding crisis.
