The Apprentice

When the ANC chooses its new leader later in 2007, the party will in effect be deciding the identity of the next South African President. Tokyo Sexwale could be a serious contender for the top job in South African politics but will he run? Sexwale in as public a fashion as is possible in South Africa – on the evening television news – his availability for election as the ANC's, and therefore South Africa's, next president. Conventional wisdom is that an ANC member who discusses a candidacy in public thereby rules himself or herself out of contention. In ANC tradition, leaders do not, at least publicly, vie for office. Instead, they pronounce themselves loyal and disciplined party members who await "deployment" to wherever the party most needs them, while lobbying goes on behind the scenes. - The Apprentice is a reality TV talent game show franchise.
