Ramaphosa's long ride to ANC leadership

The new head of South Africa's ANC party is a former union leader turned businessman and now one of the country's richest people. He is likely to become South Africa's next president in 2019 elections.

South Africa's ruling African National Congress has chosen its next leader. Trade unionist Cyril Ramaphosa succeeds the country's president Jacob Zuma as party head.

Jacob Zuma has been riddled with scandal, allegations of corruption and cronyism.

Zuma's fate may well rest in Ramaphosa's hands.

And now Ramaphosa has the task of uniting a deeply divided party.
