Just leave the analysts to do their jobs

I FIND it disturbing that some analysts are being attacked for their differing views.

People such as Prince Mashele and Shadrack Gutto are taken to task for being not pro-Zuma or pro-ANC.

I was under the impression that it is the duty of an analyst to analyse, not to be pro this or pro that.

Before the April 22 elections Sadtu KZN general secretary Mbuyiseni Mathonsi mentioned on Gagasi FM's View Point programme that there were three analysts they are looking for because they are not pro-Zuma. The analysts were Gutto, Mashele and Judith February.

This kind of thinking creates difficulty for the mentioned analysts because they are no longer able to do their job diligently.
