Mbeki camp ignores masses, branches

Leaders who support Thabo Mbeki's third term show a total disregard for the masses and ANC structures.

Leaders who support Thabo Mbeki's third term show a total disregard for the masses and ANC structures.

Poll after poll showed that the majority want a Zuma presidency. Cosatu and the MK Veterans Association were insulted for this. Irrespective of the Midrand conference preference on two centres of power, these leaders turned branches against the conference and the masses. Branches and two leagues overwhelmingly support Zuma, yet Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula wants to sway Limpopo delegates. Such actions led to civil wars and violent takeovers in Africa.
