Seems Kgalema wants the top spot or nothing at all. He's withdrawn from the race for Deputy President.

The ANC has a lot of damage control to do. Maybe something is brewing behind the scenes?
Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...
Well we are stuck with JZ for the next seven years unless the DA's 'No Confidence Debate' is supported by the disedent ANC members and they squeak a majority, maybe that is his game plan if he ever had one?

That’s the elective conference done! I think that democracy prevailed and the most popular candidate took the prize. One must never forget that in our representative democracy one votes for a party and not for a person and that party is then free to choose their leader according to how their party elective conference works. That process saw the re-election of President Zuma
President Zuma may be unpopular with the middle upper class but it’s apparent that the vast majority of people at the grassroots level love him. I suppose one simply needs to respect this.

Justice Malala: How Motlanthe lost Mangaung.
I think he's exactly on point. In the run-up to Mangaung on more than one occassion I thought - "the bugger needs to get off the fence now." As Machiavelli advises in The Prince, in a contest for power you need to choose a side and quickly. It matters less to choose the winning side than taking too long to choose. For even once your opponent has won he must approach you and make the peace.
Justice Malala also frames very well my greatest concern over the JZ victory:
JZ's biggest challenge still lies ahead of him - finding a viable exit strategy from the top spot. Just what might he do to secure one?Never underestimate your opponent. Jacob Zuma is not to be trifled with. He is wily, strategic, scheming and, most importantly, he is acutely aware that he must preserve and protect himself at all times - failing to do so could see him land up in front of a court of law on corruption or other charges. He will not swat off a challenge. He will crush it.
Final thought for now - Some might be disappointed that JZ has won another term at the helm, but I doubt any of them are anywhere near as disappointed as Juju.
