KwaZulu-Natal ANC chairperson Sihle Zikalala says deep-rooted divisions within the ANC have stifled internal debate.
Due to this, support for Jacob Zuma is interpreted as opposition to President Cyril Ramaphosa while working with Ramaphosa is seen as deserting Zuma.
He was explaining that the provincial executive's decision to lobby the national leadership to join Zuma's appeal as “friends of the court” was not a sign that they were anti-Ramaphosa. “But members should analyse things as they are, in totality and understand their interconnectedness. Members of the ANC must not allow narrow analysis, they must avoid acting like the media which will easily pit us against each other,” said Zikalala.
“You must understand that we are also talking about unity, pigeonholing each other does not work, we may agree on one thing but disagree on another, but it does not mean we cannot coexist,” he explained.
