Cyril Ramaphosa vs Kgalema Motlanthe - What do they stand for?

Vice-President Kgalema Motlanthe's Mangaung game-plan was to hide  behind the ANC's election procedures and sit on the fence to see whether Zuma would get support or not. This approach has created confusion so much so that Zuma's followers are now proposing  Cyril Ramaphosa as Vice-President instead of Motlanthe. Ramaphosa left active politics  in the mid-90s after being outmanoeuvred by Thabo Mbeki for the position of Nelson Mandela's heir. Ramaphosa built a formidable business empire and has resisted all previous attempts to draw him back into the ANC leadership. The question rises what do either of these indivuals stand for.
