JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Saturday that his African National Congress (ANC) party would be seeking a "decisive victory" in this year's national elections, which are slated to be the most highly contested in the country's democratic history.

Ramaphosa is looking to win a second term as president as Africa's most industrialised country prepares to hold its closest poll for three decades.
