I’d love to know what Zuma believes the ANC needs saving from and whether he’ll admit to any contribution to it.
Imagine starting a political party in the name of a wing of an existing political party to try and rescue that party. That is what Jacob Zuma says he’s doing – supporting the MK party to save the ANC. It sounds ludicrous, especially since the ANC expelled him. So, you have this ANC which Zuma ran for a couple of years but still got ousted.
He’s like the gay man in the catholic church, the idiot in Oxford or the rugby player on the soccer field. I can understand the need to feel wanted but why put effort into belonging to a group that doesn’t want you? And it’s not like he’s being discriminated against on any prohibited grounds like race or gender.
But here’s the rub; with political power and the ability to grab it, has Zuma ever really had any accountability? It doesn’t seem so. I suspect he’s caught onto that. And if he can hold onto that, he might not ever have to deal with any accountability. So, since he’s not getting it in the ANC, he’s got to create a new political home to get it.
They’ve handed their expelled cadre a get out of jail free card, literally. The guy must be strong if he’s able to rock a brand new political party in his mid-eighties having recently been released on medical parole.
