The stakes for South Africa’s future have never been higher, as the African National Congress (ANC) heads towards its elective conference in December.

The ANC is racked by division and corruption. Front runners for the party’s leadership, Cyril Ramaphosa and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, represent two very different visions for the ANC and ultimately the country. Whatever the outcome, the difficult tasks of tackling state capture and a reviving a moribund economy will remain.

This seminar will look at the possible outcomes of the conference and their impact on South Africa’s future.
