While it is obviously too early to say who will win and who will lose, and who will simply embarrass themselves, in this year’s ANC leadership race, it does appear that Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa is building some momentum. From his public comments about leadership last week to the way in which he is speaking at the ANC meetings, it is apparent he believes he has a strong chance. For many people, this would be the best possible outcome, both for the ANC, and for the country. This may in fact be the case. But it would still not necessarily bring us any closer to solving the problems we face as a country, and as a society. And it certainly would not bring much peace to the ANC. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
