Zuma vs Mbeki: Battle lines drawn :

Mail & Guardian Online: "The battle between President Thabo Mbeki and new African National Congress president Jacob Zuma is far from over, if perceptions conveyed in the Sunday newspapers are anything to go by.

The Sunday Independent cited Zuma's statement that he would review the policy of inflation targeting, which has been vital to Mbeki's economic policy and has necessitated the raising of interest rates.

In an editorial, City Press said the delegates at the ANC's national conference at Polokwane last week chose Zuma and 'that is the future'.

Since then, Zuma and Mbeki had been at pains to proclaim they were friends."
