Just hours before ANC leadership nominations were set to commence on Friday, no clear line-up had been decided by any of the warring factions.

Internal ramblings across the board have proved to be a stumbling block for President Cyril Ramaphosa’s faction, particularly over the position of deputy president, with “horse-trading” likely to continue until the final minutes before nomination.
