The race is hotting up and with Lindiwe Sisulu also entering the fray, a ticket with Ramaphosa as president and Sisulu as deputy would meet Gwede Mantashe's scenario quite nicely. However it would be even better if Ramaphosa could coax Khoza back into the ranks and add her to one of his top ranked members, and then to get Thuli Mandonsela in as well would be a cherry on the cake. South Africa and its people need qualified, educated and honest people at its helm if ANC stands a chance to redeem itself. Zuma however will be planning and plotting to ensure his disciple gets in and this could turn the elective conference into a bloodbath which the ANC will never recover as it will be the same old story as now exists with corruption running riot until 2019
