Zuma has been re-elected as leader of the ANC

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma  has been re-elected leader of the ANC, a victory that virtually guarantees him another 5 years in power.

He received 2,983 votes against Kgalema Motlanthe’s 991.

 Zuma's win at the ANC elective conference tees him up for another seven years as head of state.

The more than 4,000 ANC delegates crammed into a marquee in Bloemfontein erupted into wild cheers when Zuma was confirmed in the top party post. A beaming Zuma then walked on stage to shake hands with his colleagues and members of the party’s election commission..
