    The big question - will he accept the nomination?

    Yes, the first hurdle that would need to be overcome. I've been thinking about it a bit, and there is a possibility that he is following the traditional ANC protocol. No rallying, just let the people speak. It may be a good strategy. We'll know in December.

    What is quite interesting is if we cast our minds back to the 1997 ANC elections...it was Thabo vs Cyril, I think. What will happen this time?

    That is sooo funny.

    What about Tokyo? How would you frame his "run"?

    One man band?

    So what would that make it, "See Tokyo run....see him run"

    It's funny in a way. When I think of my association life, it was when I stopped pursuing the top elected positions that they started coming to me. I guess you have to make some noise to get noticed in the lower ranks, but once you get to the upper echelons, it's best to wait until you're pushed forward.

    So! Jacob Zuma seems to be in pole position.

    Mail & Guardian Online have put together a special ANC conference page here.

    Quite extraordinary what is going on in Polokwane right now.
