Zuma: I Will Be Campaigning (To Be The Next President)

Jacob Zuma has said that he will be campaigning for the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal before the local elections in March 2006. This despite the ANC NEC trying to make him persona non grata in the ANC.

Now call me cynical but I have a feeling this will be less of Jacob Zuma campaigning for the ANC and more of Jacob Zuma campaigning for… well Jacob Zuma. If he’s going to get back in the ANC succession battle the local elections will be the first logical place to insert himself back into the hearts and minds of the ANC electorate before the ever important ANC NEC elections in 2007.

If Zuma does campaign and the ANC puts the kibosh on the IFP, which they might very well considering the state the IFP are in, it might give him some momentum going into 2007.
