First world politics. <p>After the <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=6&#38;art_id=vn20051119080151937C950754">first day</a> of the <span class="caps">ANC</span> <acronym title="National Executive Committee">NEC</acronym> meeting there&#8217;s still no indication of what is going down in the <span class="caps">ANC</span>. There seems to be plenty of tension in the air, although as the article mentions, it&#8217;s nice to see rivals put differences aside so they can enjoy a quick smoke out back.</p> <p>One notable rumour that the article mentions is the &#8220;Plan B&#8221; option that some Zuma supporters are discussing in case they have to ditch JZ in the wilderness and throw their support behind someone else, possibly <span class="caps">ANC</span> Secretary General Kgalema Motlanthe. Which is wierd because he&#8217;s never seemed to me to be the most charismatic guy, which is one of the areas Mbeki also lacks and where any challenger could easily one up him.</p> Sat, 19 Nov 2005 07:50:00 -0600 urn:uuid:662b85862ae7c769d3ed5a1f035bf825 Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2005/11/19/anc-nec-report-still-no-idea ANC http://www.politics.za.net/articles/trackback/13
