I was very surprised how some women in the ANCWL reacted to Jacob Zuma's nomination. I know it was very painful for Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka and Naledi Pandor when they saw the nomination.

But please comrades, the women have spoken and this is how democracy works, so respect the choice of your colleagues.

What is even more puzzling is that some women organised a march against the league's choice. I wonder if this would change their comrades' feelings before Polokwane? I also wonder if all this shows the quality of the ANCWL leadership?
