JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Latest on the new leader of South Africa's ruling party (all times local):12:50 a.m.

The new leader of South Africa's ruling party and the country's likely next president says the African National Congress must halt corruption "within our own ranks."

Cyril Ramaphosa is making his first address as ANC leader as the party faces its weakest point since it took power at the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule in 1994.

The party has faced growing public frustration over multiple allegations of corruption against President Jacob Zuma.

Ramaphosa says party members must avoid being motivated by personal gain.___12:30 a.m.
