Thabiso Zulu, a close comrade of former ANCYL secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa, who was murdered in 2017, has been on the run since giving evidence at Moerane commission. If the state cannot protect whistle-blowers, who is it protecting? asks Omry Makgoale
Thabiso Zulu, a close comrade of former ANC Youth League secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa, who was murdered in 2017, has been on the run since giving evidence at the Moerane commission into the political killings in KwaZulu-Natal.
He was shot in the arm by three men at Copesville outside Pietermaritzburg in an assassination attempt last month. These izinkabi killings are a national scandal. They put in question the integrity of the courts, the police and our political system. This poses the question: Is the president in charge of the state or are the izinkabi now the government?One also has to ask: Is the Moerane commission just a whitewash, despite the glaring evidence presented to it?Zulu has lost faith in his party’s structures in the province. When he went to court there was scant support.
The league’s task team includes Malusi Gigaba, Fikile Mbalula and other former youth league leaders, and is repeating the same mistakes they have made since 1994, using the league for factional battles in the ANC.
