We move from the Western Pacific to South Africa, and the headlines are stark. South Africa's ANC weighs up

partners from free marketeers to Marxist or how the ANC can save South

Africa or all eyes on ANC is it discusses who

who enlist to govern South Africa. This within these last hours why?

Because for the first time ever the ANC is no longer the majority party in South Africa.

Ramposa is the leader of the ANC, but he must now make a coalition with parties that are not sympathetic or are not necessarily going to bend a knee.

Gregory, South Africa is a troubled nation.

Does this help with the ANCC is no longer a one-party state?

Well it absolutely does help South Africa because the collapse of

South Africa has largely been because of the corruption, massive corruption of the ANC

and the fact that it has been dramatically split into various factions, some of which are extremely radical and Marxist and

aggressive in the in the region and others of him are more moderate and

Cyril Ramaposa has been able to stay in office largely because he has not represented

any single faction within the ANC.

He doesn't have a tribe as most of the insiders in the ANC say.

So he's kept his position as head of the ANC despite the meltdown in these parliamentary elections. But now he has to, as you say, form a coalition

and the parliament will then elect a new president.

It probably will be a remoposer simply because I don't want to get anyone controversial in.

The return of former President Jacob Zuma's um K Kontoisizhizhizhizhizhui party, which is the Spear of the Nation party,

is really as profoundly important and threatens the ANC dramatically.
