The fallout from that battle we are living with today. And this December election, it is still that battle for the Soul of that party Our political team with a few guests had much fun putting together the series, it isn’t an academic discussion, it’s much more. It’s called “CHIEF” because it’s the most common term for leadership used in the ANC. The Economist once embarrassed itself in 2007, saying former president Mbeki insisted on being called as such, not knowing everyone is a chief in Luthuli House - rightly or wrongly. It’s the legacy of the battle of the two Chiefs - Mbekl and Zuma - that we are living today.

In this podcast, Editor-in-Chief, Ron Derby, is joined once again by Paddy Harper who chat to Ronald Lamola, Minister of Justice and Correctional Services - who is gunning for a top six position in the party’s elective conference in December.
