Johannesburg - New ANC leader Cyril

Ramaphosa said on Tuesday the "Top Six" of South Africa's ruling

party comprised politicians from different sides of its

ideological divides and he expected the party to emerge from

this week's leadership conference stronger.

Analysts have warned that the party's top decision-making

group could fail to agree on policy, with three politicians

apiece drawn from the Ramaphosa camp and that of his rival,

Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

"The leadership that has been chosen is a unity leadership,"

Ramaphosa told reporters at the conference. "It's a leadership

that combines different views and approaches that were prevalent

in the conference prior to the election."
