Ther
e has been no discussions about appointing two additional
deputy presidents after the April 14 elections, the African
National Congress said yesterday.
Reacting to a Business Day newspaper article speculating that
President Thabo Mbeki would be supported by three deputies, ANC
spokesperson Smuts Ngonyama said the issue was never discussed
within the party structures.
"I know nothing about it. There is nothing like it. What are these
sources (the Business Day quoted) really," he said.
The article said speculation in diplomatic, academic and business
circles was that Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
and Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota would be the two additional
deputies. – Sapa.
