South Africa's Sisulu says ANC must return to its roots, fight graft

South African President Jacob Zuma talks on the phone before a working session at the G20 leaders summit in Hamburg, Germany July 8, 2017.

South African Housing Minister Lindiwe Sisulu launched her bid on Saturday to succeed scandal-hit President Jacob Zuma as leader of the African National Congress (ANC) by vowing to help save the ruling party from infighting and corruption.

Sisulu, a veteran cabinet minister who comes from a prominent family in the struggle against apartheid, last week joined the crowded race to replace Zuma in a party leadership contest in December.
