South Africa: A.N.C. Chooses Mbeki

President Thabo Mbeki was elected president of the African National Congress, the country's governing party, which virtually ensures that he will serve a second five-year term as president. As leader of the African National Congress, Mr. Mbeki automatically becomes the party's candidate for the presidency in 2004. The A.N.C., which led the struggle against apartheid, is South Africa's most popular political party.
