ANALYSIS: Ace Magashule and the loneliness inside the ANC’s corner By Stephen Grootes StephenGrootes
It is becoming clearer that the election results will simply be the setting of the playing field for what is to come, a likely showdown between the forces supporting President Cyril Ramaphosa, and those who are supporting ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule. For the moment, it appears Magashule is an isolated political figure, reduced to bombast statements and wayward threats.
Then there were the posters themselves. One of them, displaying the image of Dlamini, proclaimed, “Away with white domination away”. It is not clear at this stage what the link between the claims against Dlamini and the others have to do with “white domination” . But it is becoming clearer that the forces supporting Magashule are preparing to use race in their campaign.
In 2016, before Nasrec, the Ramaphosa-supporting SACP complained of the same thing, saying the Hawks had been given a mandate to. Magashule appears not to have shared their concerns at the time. This indicates that he is only worried about this issue now because it is allegedly being used against him, while he was happy to remain silent when such tactics were alleged to be being used to benefit his faction., that the ANC had to act on the corruption claims against Magashule .
