Zuma says race for ANC presidency still wide open

ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma says the race for the presidency of the ruling party remains wide open. Zuma, who has been charged with rape and is facing a corruption trial later this year, says the leadership of the party can only be decided by the ANC membership. According to reports, Zuma has responded to questions about his own aspirations as ANC president by saying that it is not up to any individual in the party to go around saying that they want to lead the ANC.
