It is not the victory for law and order and constitutional democracy that it is being portrayed as. Zuma has behaved as he does because he – and the many other ANC cadres who daily and with impunity show their contempt of the rule of law – have a powerful enabler.The ANC’s failure to understand fully what a constitution means can be discerned in many of the revealing comments it made during the Zuma impasse.
Again, the ANC response is revealing. After first denying that there had been any illegal behaviour at Nkandla, a meeting with its national executive committee persuaded acting secretary-general Jesse Duarte to change her tune. Suffice it to say that if these armed international counter-revolutionary terrorists threatening to use as human shields had indeed been right-wingers, a spell in the Naughty Corner would not have been the police or ANC response.
