SACP Leadership Fights, COSATU Descends Into Paranoia 1
The latest SACP central committee meeting seems to have indicated that there is a move to get rid of any SACP leaders who do not wish to throw their support in with the Zuma camp. Current SACP chairman Chales Nqakula, Ronnie Kasrils and Jeremy Cronin seem to be the ones targeted as they have all publicly stated some doubt, Cronin especially, about why the SACP must back Zuma. Expect the months leading up to the SACP national congress to be full of stories like this.
Meanwhile SACP secretary general Zwenlinzima Vavi has beefed up his bodyguard count because he believes there is a plot to assassinate him. The supposed plot against him is hilarious though:
The plot against him is three-fold. First to spread rumours that he has an affair with a married woman; secondly, to plant a woman who would later claim that she had been raped like they tried to do with (ANC deputy president Jacob) Zuma; and ultimately to assassinate him and play it out as if it was a love-triangle killing.
You really can’t make this up.
Gosh, don’t we all just love living in RSA, if only for the non-stop entertainment?
