Contest for South Africa's ANC Presidency a 'Fight to the Death'

"The outcome of the African National Congress's (ANC) elective conference will, in many ways, determine the future of the country," writes Saul Musker for The Daily Maverick. The ruling party has issued a warning to delegates attending its 54th National Elective Conference to be disciplined and to accept the outcome of the presidential leadership contest, regardless of who wins.
