South Africa’s justice minister fired the latest salvo in a war of words between those who want president Cyril Ramaphosa to remain the ruling party’s head and those who want him ousted in December at a conference where its members will vote on senior leadership positions.

Minister Ronald Lamola, a Ramaphosa ally, unleashed a verbal attack on tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu, who is seen as positioning herself as a leader of an opposing wing of the African National Congress.

Sisulu appears to be aligning herself with the wing of the party loyal to former president Jacob Zuma. That group has opposed Ramaphosa’s attempts to implement political and economic reforms and crackdown on graft, which plagued Zuma’s time in office. Persistent attacks on the judiciary and a drumbeat of corruption scandals under Zuma undermined business confidence.
