Can Cyril Ramaphosa rescue the ANC?

from Talking Africa · host The Africa Report

The ANC is one of the most respected and long-established political parties, with great victories and heroes in its past – Mandela and the fight against apartheid among others.But in recent years the whiff of corruption and the unlovely euphemism – state capture – has surrounded the party. And President Zuma and his connections to the Gupta family have been hitting the party where it hurts – in the polls, where it has been losing cities and provinces to opposition parties.So now that former mine union leader turned businessman Cyril Ramaphosa has won the head of the party – with the assumption that he will become president of the country next year – why the nagging doubts that this will not change much in South Africa?
