ANC popularity takes a dip ANC's glue 'becoming unstuck' Leadership issue worries Mbeki Restore gallows, says Sexwale

Johannesburg - Businessman Tokyo Sexwale has been approached by senior cabinet ministers to run for the position of ANC president later this year, a move which would pave the way for him to become the president of South Africa when Thabo Mbeki retires in 2009, the Sunday Times reported.

Sexwale himself has been talking to both of the ANC factions, whose loyalties are split between Mbeki and Jacob Zuma, the Sunday Times said.

Part of Sexwale's strategy appears to be to seek former President Nelson Mandela's endorsement of his candidature, which his backers believe would constitute a great boost for his campaign.
