ANC warns Mbeki - report

"The speculation about the deputy president is a speculation," Mantashe said on Sunday afternoon at the close of the ANC national executive committee's (NEC) three-day lekgotla (meeting) in Midrand.

ANC policy is that the president and deputy president of the party serve the country in those capacities. However, there will be two centres of power -- the government and the ANC -- until the next general elections in 2009 following the election in December of Jacob Zuma as ANC president and Motlanthe as his deputy.

I'm somewhat inclined to gravitate to the view of Motlhante getting on board the current government. For me it simply means when the Mbeki administration leaves office next year... there'll be a bit of continuity in place.

Its pretty much obvious that Motlhante will be deputy pres of the country... if not President of country .... depending on how JZ fares at the Pietermaritzberg High Court of course. Its said I know...... but an inevitable scenario nonetheless.
