Photo: Luba Lesolle/Gall ImagesMore shots have been fired in the ongoing sniping taking place between the ANC and its alliance partners over who it turned to in order to remain the governing party after it lost its majority nationally on 29 May.
The ANC’s imaginary friend — electorally speaking — is feeling left out and believes that Ramaphosa should have reached out to the parties who broke away from it instead of those to its right to stay in the governing game.kicked things off with an address to a National Education Health and Allied Workers Union gathering earlier this month in which he said the ANC failed to consult it when deciding who to partner with in the unity government.
That was the first time the SACP failed the test when asked the fundamental — make that existential — question: is our flag red or JZ?, Zuma had just been indicted for corruption for the bribes he collected from Schabir Shaik and arms dealer Thint and was trying to turn his arrest into a presidential campaign by using the SACP and labour federation Cosatu.
Mazibuko was hounded out of the SACP, Zuma took over the ANC — and the country — and the rest of us are still paying the price of their inability to read the political room today.Zuma appointed Nzimande and a few of his drinking partners to the cabinet, but it was the Gupta brothers who ended up telling uBaba who to appoint — or fire.
