As the ruling African National Congress (ANC) approaches its 2012 leadership conference, divisions among the major blocs forming this party deepens. ANC is in power ever since the 1994 end of apartheid, a goal that kept the party united. Now rivalries among the ANC proper, the Congress of South African Trade Unions, and the South African Communist Party are mounting and no serious candidate has come forward to challenge South African President Jacob Zuma for party leadership.
Nevertheless, the president maintains enough support among the alliance members that he will likely proceed to re-election to party leadership in 2012 and the presidency in 2014.
