Voting for the new leader of South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) party was almost complete on Monday, as the race pitting President Cyril Ramaphosa against former health minister Zweli Mkhize entered the final stretch.

Counting of votes was due to start within hours, with the winner expected to be announced later on Monday.

Ramaphosa secured more than twice the nominations that Mkhize did before the leadership conference from rank-and-file ANC members, but local media have reported that some provincial voting blocs were considering shifting their allegiance to Mkhize duringWilliam Gumede, head of the Democracy Works Foundation think tank, wrote in a LinkedIn post that the vote was "going to the wire - and will likely be decided by a handful of votes".
