JOHANNESBURG, June 26 (Reuters) – South Africa’s ruling
African National Congress (ANC) is holding a major policy
meeting this week to discuss plans to transform the continent’s
largest economy, which the party says is still largely

the country’s president, and stay in office until 2019.
Likely challengers, including Deputy President Kgalema
Motlanthe, will be seeking to line up support from several
thousand local delegates who wield the greatest weight in
electing ANC leaders.
