South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has appealed to his
ancestors to help him hold on to the leadership of the ruling African National
Congress (ANC).
Mr Zuma attended a ceremony at his village on Sunday, where
12 cattle were slaughtered and incense burnt as people prayed for his
re-election.
His opponents are pushing for him to be ousted as ANC leader
at the party's conference next month.
Mr Zuma, a polygamist with 21 children, is a well-known Zulu
traditionalist.
He beat his predecessor Thabo Mbeki in a bitterly contested
election in 2007 for the leadership of the ANC.
