President Cyril Ramaphosa is hoping to hold on to power in South Africa as his party gathers to pick a new leader.
The winner will not only lead the party, but also become its presidential candidate, come 2024 general elections.
He is being challenged by Dr. Zweli Mkhize – the president’s former ally and health minister, who helped him steer the country through the pandemic.
Mr Ramaphosa has been caught up in an escalating political scandal over recent months. He is accused of concealing the theft of a large amount of money from his farm but denies any wrongdoing.
The African National Congress has become divided over whether he is the right person to lead them any further.
So, can Cyril Ramaphosa survive as leader of the party and country?
