South Africa - Winnie declines ANC nomination

(17 Dec 1997) T/I: 10:51:32 Winnie Madikizela-Mandela on Wednesday (17/12) declined a nomination for the deputy leadership of the ruling African National Congress. Madikizela-Mandela, the controversial head of the ANC's Women's League, had been proposed by her supporters at the congress, but declined to push the matter to a show of hands from the more than 3,000 delegates. Political analysts said it was a shrewd move and would allow her to concentrate on going forward for a post on the party's influential national executive committee, its major decision-making body, later this week. Jacob Zuma, the party chairman, was elected unopposed for the position vacated by Thabo Mbeki, who, as expected, had been elected unopposed to the leadership of the party earlier.
