ANC108: NEWS ANALYSIS: In Kimberley for the ANC’s Big Bash, the pothole-ridden streets mirror the state of the party By Rebecca Davis
ANC Treasurer Paul Mashatile was given a similar earful by residents of the Kimberley township of Galeshewe.
The tension between voters and politicians has been mirrored by the strain which seems to be simultaneously developing at the top of the party. In the course of his comments, Mabuza also appeared to appropriate a starring role for himself in the diagnosis of Eskom’s problems, saying: “Right from the day we went there [to Eskom] with the president, I insisted on maintenance. Maintenance of these power stations is very important.”
On to the bandwagon uninvited jumped ANC veteran Tony Yengeni, opining forcefully on TV that for Sangoni to contradict Mabuza in this matter was a disrespectful breach of protocol.
