President Cyril Ramaphosa may elevate his former foe, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, to the position of deputy president of the country after David Mabuza's withdrawal from the swearing-in of members of Parliament.

Mabuza, the deputy president and former Mpumalanga premier, threw his weight behind Ramaphosa at the ANC's Nasrec conference in 2017 and was appointed deputy president in February 2018.

ANC sources have told News24 that Ramaphosa is likely to appoint a woman as his deputy when he announces his Cabinet after the presidential inauguration on Saturday. Ramaphosa is expected to announce the new executive over the weekend. It will also be a sign that Ramaphosa supports the"unity project" in the ANC, as Dlamini-Zuma headed up the"Zuma faction" at Nasrec.Ramaphosa and Dlamini-Zuma have gravitated towards each other since he appointed her Minister in the Presidency, responsible for planning and evaluation. Ramaphosa's trust in Dlamini-Zuma has strengthened to a point where she has become his point person to deal with business and agriculture.

I wish Thuli Madonsela could have been on the list instead of the two

Oh...my...God... Zuma-kin back at the helm

Naledi Pandor best choice for Deputy President.

Where is new blood, not pensioners

Thuli Mandosela please save us. She should get the position for vice president. If it should be a woman.

God help us not another Zuma.

I hope it's Pandor.

Gogos, Nooooooooooooooooooooo

I do prefer Naledi Pandor as she's well educated and very knowledgeable rather than politics

No both this people are old, my God 😒🤦‍♀️

Oh no. The rand will plummit

Pandor ✊🏿

Naledi please

Naledi Pandor

Pandor 👏

Both women are good at what they do. I have much confidence in them.

Pandor 👍 NDZ 👎 NDZ was the face of the corrupt Zupta empire. She never once spoke out against state capture. She is not fit for anything important.

Pandor

Ekhaya bobheka abazukulu.manje aw..

Said Dlamini Zuma would be vice president, be careful Cyril, YOU could be recalled and she could be President and pardon her ex Zuma

Can we please not be lead by another Zuma person.

For the love of everything that is Holy. Nooooo

I stand behind NalediPandor.

Deputising what🤷🏾‍♂️ This position is completely useless. Just look at DD🙆🏾‍♂️, the most useless cadre in parliament. This is a good timing of getting rid of deputy president

why don't you choose from an opposition party?

Madam Pandor PLEEAAASE.

Naledi Pandor will be an excellent choice for Deputy President! She is strong, eloquent, intelligent and untainted by scandal! Will be a great asset for the country and our President! NalediPandor4Deputy

CyrilRamaphosa Pandor 🙌

Pandor for deputy please!

If they put NDZ in there it's a) to appease the Zuma faction and b) it'll result in Cyril getting ousted within a year

No zumas plz. New blood maybe

I wish it will be mama naledi pandor

Nkosazana!

After 5 years how old will be naledi pandor so meaning we gonna stack with her as a president yerrrrrrrr yessesssss

If i hear a Zuma and president in the same sentence it would be too soon. No not that one please!

Ideally It should be Dlamini-Zuma considering the work she did for the AU but I can't get over that 'Zuma' part of her last name. I endorse Lindiwe Sisulu

Thankfully its not pizza face🤭🤭🤭

Hopefully Pandor as she has no family to protect!

Please no, they both perform poorly as politians. Will be very disappointing

Why not Aus ThokoDidiza or Mme LindiweSisuluSA ?

Retire please

This is my personal opinion. Comrade Pandor is the best suited candidate to our DP. viva ANC.

I think Pandor she can make better .

Both women are capable, both have integrity but only hasn’t had any links to corruption (even by association). Oviaaaaasly CyrilRamaphosa will have to make an informed decision if any of them has to ascend to the second highest political position.

Pandor all the way.... not another Zuma.

The Zuma children have already eaten now give the Pandor children a chance

Oh dear God why

Pandor? From which constituency u guys want a collapse of this 6th parliament

If I HAD to choose it would have to be Naledi, she is at least educated. That other thing will wind up being Showerheads stooge.

Will CONSIDER Dlamini-Zuma only if she removes the useless part of her surname.

phakama ndz 😁

Dlamini-Zuma ✊

I go away a day and the country changes?

Former public protector Thuli Madonsela

Naledi Pandor

Better!

Ayy kodwa these Gogos........atleast Lindiwe

Give it to Dlamini Zuma Maan..

Dlamini Pandor is old

Pension old ladies , please

I go for Dr Pandor👌

Please not a Zuma Again, Maybe Pandor...

Then she can polish her nails all day every day .

I prefer Ms Naledi Pandor.

ermbates 🙈

These women not so sure I would not go to war with this lot

Another Zuma please no thanks

Please god, and this from an atheist, NOT NDZ. She is as dull as mud and as boring a speaker as ever created. Hear my prayer.

Don't care who becomes a DP as long as it is not Mabuza

MYANC simply means MY AGE NOT UR CONCERN but it's fine keep on voting

Pandor would be ideal. Dlamini Zuma would be strategic.

Hong hong hong 🤣🤣

Prefer Thoko Didiza or Lindiwe Sisulu

Interesting

They are too old, Koko

Naledi Pandor preferably any thing to do with Zuma is tooo zumaful

Shouldn't these two gogos be at home raising greatgrand kids?

It could be Dlamini-Zuma because of her age and experience...But I believe LindiweSisuluSA would be the best Deputy President🤷🏽‍♀️

She deserves it

Hope its Pandor

Fake news

This a very wrong move hey. DD won democratically. Who is clean in ANC for that matter

Awe safe ilabogogo savelelwa naylamakhehla

Is that why DD delayed being sworn in as member of parliament.

Nonsense. You are starting all these speculations for clickbait.

We can't we just cant

Pandor please. She has loads of integrity and nothing dirty hiding in her closet.

Why Dlamini-Zuma would be the best option for RamaphosaNewsletter| President Cyril Ramaphosa needs to be surrounded by the best available comrades to assist him.

I think I need to shower!!!!! Such a well written article! 👌🏽 After all the bashing she went through in these WMC papers today she's the best available comrade and not Zuma's ex.
