This follows three different public engagements at which former presidents Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma spoke on Saturday. In a statement, provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo said this was a “strange occurrence wherein the above leaders are attacking the sitting ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC publicly”.“While we respect their rights, as enshrined in the constitution, of the freedom of speech, we respectfully request our leaders to exercise restraint.
The provincial secretary said while the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal acknowledged that the organisation is facing challenges, the conduct of the three leaders, who are respected and admired, had forced it to choose between them and the ANC.“No court of law has ever found President Jacob Zuma corrupt for his involvement in the arms deal — equally, no court of law has ever found President Cyril Ramaphosa corrupt in Phala Phala.
