Well the delay is due to really the divisiveness that weve seen emerging in the build up to this crucial elective conference the delays basically being caused by an emergency meeting of the National Executive committee which is the top one hundred or so a. N. C. Leaders they were meeting to discuss some Court Rulings that emerged yesterday in three court cases which basically nullified the results from Branch Meetings the grassroots a. N. C. Meetings in which they elect their delegates and who each of those branches is going to support and that would seem to at this point come out in favor of one of the leading candidates so ram opposed because those branches were believed to be behind his main rival in courses meanies zuma it is an indication of just how bitterly contested the top job races for the presidency of the a. N. C. The big implications so far being this enormous delay were experiencing we dont expect the conference proper to kick off for at least another two hours.

Will the party continue in the mold of president jacob zuma by electing his preferred candidate or will it make a break with the past and choose a rival. His favorite candidate in courses are not that mean is it may be able to protect him from legal action involving corruption allegations the other front runner is current d. P. T. President ceramic poser regardless of who comes out on top is likely to be replaced as president before the general election in two thousand and nineteen. The president will have to go earlier next year my sense is that the First Quarter of next year he will have to go all the question is how will he go if its communism or wins there might throw a big fellow party for the president to go it was a wince there might frogmarched the president out of the Union Building either way the president is going to have to call the polls im a dispensation is being forged now the question is how different will it be from his must call child maybe protest. It isnt just the top job thats up for grabs so are dozens of positions in the n cs hierarchy within the next few days they could be either a major realignment in the oldest Liberation Movement on the african continent or more of the same. Internal talk us through this Free Education promise that has been made at the conference. Yes suggest came as something of a surprise to everyone here because its audience i suppose the students themselves have broken their finished their exams so it is being seen by many people as a political move by the president the outgoing president and this is an announcement that there will be free Higher Education for the countrys poorest students and those middle class for middle class households they have defined that as being students from households whose families. About thirty five thousand dollars a year this is come as something of a surprise because just a short while ago last month it was announced the results of an commission of inquiry into with a Free Education was possible that it would not be affordable for south africa the context of which is the prochoice we saw breakout about three years ago which we saw tens of thousands of students on the streets calling for fees to four they want Free Education and it seems that it is something that certainly the president perhaps thinking of his legacy wants to see come into force those cynics among the people here in the delegations and some of the commentators have been speaking to say look at this is something aimed really at appealing to the young voters south africa has a young population and a year and a half or less its hitting into a general election the a. N. C. Despite he wants to hold on to the big majority that it retains because it has been slipping in the polls in recent times thanks for that now lets take a closer look at the two contenders to replace zuma. Is an a. N. C. Veteran of the trained pediatrician she has served as a minister in the every leader since the end of apartheid. Belongs to the dominant zulu tribe and the former African Union chairperson is being projected as someone who can become south africas first woman president but back in one thousand nine. The countrys antigraft body held her responsible for Misleading Parliament about a controversial contract in the fight against aids her rival sixty five year old sorrel rum oppose i was closely involved in the negotiations to end apartheid and was seen as a Nelson Mandela successor in the late one nine hundred ninety s. He was overlooked and the veteran trade unionist quits politics to become one of south africas most successful businessmen from a poser as a clean progressive image but has been criticized for his role in dealing with the miners strike that led to the marikana massacre in which forty four people were killed in two thousand and twelve well joining us live is all more global tone jani a political commentator from johannesburg very good to have you with us what do you make of the delays happening at the conference i mean how concerned is the a n c about the legal action here whats of impact could it have on the two candidates. While we still dont ignore how that is looking what we have seen over the past two weeks is that this type of legal action was president it was something that we were expecting it has been a very highly contested election between as and i dont mean. That we have never seen the a and b. You know in this kind of a position. What we hope to see is that they did a good swarm managed to vote and what the secretary general has said. Is there being more comply with the court ruling so the delegates will be allowed to vote but they will be some twenty seven or so from the different branches or will not be allowed to vote we did not know if there will be some fights there break out due to their dissatisfaction but its a waiting game and told everything begins do what you think about these promises made Free Education to ninety percent of South Africans who need it i mean this is from a government thats been behind the crumbling Education Sector where theyre going to have this money and will this work as an education promise. We need about forty billion plus to make education happen the government has been under a lot of pressure to take some action and to take to make education more accessible we know that the future must for proteus brought you know some of our Higher Education institutions to a standstill with some students not being able to write exams due to due to doze disruptions so this this seems like a good call this announcement comes at a very interesting time i think president zuma is just reminding us who is in charge we didnt hear this announcement from the finance minister who was addressing the media today it has come from the president for a reason and perhaps this is the legacy that he wants to leave for himself just to distract us from all the corruption allegations and state capture that seem to follow him so we just dont know where the money will come from reno that we are in fifty billion tax the deficit so we will have to wait to hear from the finance minister on exactly where we will get these funds from to make this happen ok obviously the economy is a real concern for the country and was that in mind i mean who do you think is the preferred better candidate. Its quite difficult to tell at this stage why not all of the big issues that and got as and i mean islam has focused on has been on you know radical Economic Transformation transforming our communities but the talks about radical Economic Transformation still create a bit of anxiety because we need to figure out a balance of how do we make a radical Economic Transformation happen alongside Business Confidence and ensuring bethought africa remains an attractive Investment Opportunity so and then on the other side we have several who is a known businessmen very successful but he still has you know the shadow of the massacre that happened in america and the hanging over him but on the other side this seems to be more. Based on him having a key image as compared to of course i mean you are right lets leave it there or more go to town jani good to talk to you.
