Briefly News previously reported that As the African National Congress (ANC) national elective conference draws nearer, billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe has remained tight-lipped about whether he will stand for the position of ANC president.

If Motsepe were to take up the call, he would be running against his brother-in-law and incumbent, President Cyril Ramaphosa. Motsepe would also contest against former health minister Zweli Mkhize, Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu, and Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

Motsepe did tell SABC News that he was confident the conference, due to take place at Nasrec next month, would be a success and that the party would emerge united after the elective conference.
