The African National Congress (ANC) narrowly avoided a damaging split at its 54th national conference in December 2017. The recall of Jacob Zuma is one of the key decisions now confronting the ANC’s National Executive Committee as it prepares for the 2019 elections. How will the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as president of the ANC affect the future of the organisation and South Africa?

This View on Africa is presented by Jakkie Cilliers, head of African Futures and Innovation, ISS Pretoria. He will discuss prospects for South Africa based on a new report on the outcomes of the ANC’s recent elective conference.
