ANC Women's League and Youth League sing "My President" to welcome Dlamini-Zuma

Former African Union (AU) chairperson, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, was welcomed by hundreds of African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) and ANC Youth League (ANCYL) members at OR Tambo International Airport on Wednesday.

Dlamini-Zuma came back home after finalising her duties in Addis Ababa on Tuesday.

The ANCWL publicly endorsed Dlamini-Zuma to take over as the President of the ANC in December when the ruling party elects new leadership.

Political analyst and Talk At Nine host, Karima Brown, says some of Dlamini-Zuma's supporters will hurt her campaign.
