Both deny the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His victory puts him in pole position to lead the ANC in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he is still at risk as he is being investigated by police, the tax office and central bank over allegations that he stashed at least $580,000 (\u00a3475,000) in a sofa at his private farm, and then covered up its theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A panel of legal experts, appointed by the speaker of parliament, said that he had a case to answer as he may have both violated the constitution and broken an anti-corruption law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His supporters burst into song and dance after he was declared the winner, in a result that saw him win by a bigger margin than when he first ran for the leadership of the governing party &#8211; the African National Congress &#8211; in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Ramaphosa&#8217;s re-election bid was bolstered by the fact the ANC used its parliamentary majority to vote down the findings of the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president has denied any wrongdoing, and has launched legal action to annul the panel&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the $580,000 came from the sale of buffaloes, but the panel said there was &#8220;substantial doubt&#8221; over whether a transaction took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Mkhize was the health minister in Mr Ramaphosa&#8217;s government until he was forced to resign last year over allegations of misspending funds set aside to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He too has denied any wrongdoing, and his supporters saw the allegations as an attempt to discredit him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Ramaphosa was the odds-on favourite to win, but some of Mr Mkhize&#8217;s supporters looked stunned after the result was announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were confident of victory after offering key posts to other powerful leaders in deals struck just ahead of delegates casting their ballots at the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both sides denied accusations of vote-buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ANC has been in power since white-minority rule ended in 1994, and is hoping to secure a sixth term in the 2024 parliamentary election. But opinion polls suggest that its vote has shrunk considerably because of widespread corruption in government, high unemployment and poor public services &#8211; including constant power cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ANC elected a new deputy leader, Paul Mashatile, who defeated Mr Ramaphosa&#8217;s preferred candidate for the second-most powerful post in the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Mashatile is now the front-runner to become South Africa&#8217;s deputy president, and president in the event Mr Ramaphosa is forced out of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president&#8217;s allies won other powerful posts in the party, including that of secretary-general and national chairperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defeated candidates embraced the winners in a show of unity after a bruising conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporters of ex-President Jacob Zuma had heckled Mr Ramaphosa during his opening speech at the conference last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But no leader from KwaZulu-Natal, the political heartland of Mr Zuma, was elected to any of the ANC&#8217;s top seven posts, in the latest sign of his and the region&#8217;s declining influence in the party.
