Any bets Zuma will claim that the party is being threatened by "factionalism" (the Zuma crowd always accuse the opposition of exactly what they're actually guilty of), and then "step in" because "the people" "begged" him to come to the party's rescue and continue to lead and "unite" it.

I'll bet a penny to a pound of pigs**t that he'll stand for a 3rd term in the ANC.

Once he does that, all bets are off for honest elections (if any at all), taking place in 2019.
