S.Africa: Political Infighting: ANC officials silent after crisis meeting

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Political Infighting: ANC officials silent after crisis meeting

[There is some political infighting among the ANC in the Cape. I wouldn’t make too much of it. Many times Liberals love to pretend that the ANC is falling apart at the seams. I wouldn’t believe it. The ANC will resolve their problems and will survive this. Jan]

Top African National Congress members were tight-lipped on Friday after a meeting of party heavyweights, who jetted in to Cape Town on Thursday to defuse vicious infighting over leadership of the provincial party.

After the meeting, ANC provincial secretary Mcebisi Skwatsha, whose supporters are challenging Premier Ebrahim Rasool for the chairmanship, issued a statement saying members had agreed to conduct party business “inside” the ANC and not in the media.

Skwatsha said members had committed themselves to fundamental ANC principles of non-racialism, non-sexism and democracy in the run-up to next month’s crucial provincial conference.

The Luthuli House delegation that flew into Cape Town on Thursday included ANC secretary-general Kgalema Motlanthe, presidential parliamentary counsellor Manne Dipico and Social Welfare
Minister Zola Skweyiya.

They met members of the ANC’s provincial working committee, including Skwatsha, Rasool, Lynne Brown and Marius Fransman, but afterwards refused to disclose what had been discussed.

The arrival of the Luthuli House delegation followed a request by the Cape Argus for a party comment on a report describing a secret meeting of Skwatsha supporters in Gugulethu last week.
At the meeting, it is understood, a covert political strategy was hatched to discredit Rasool and others before the ANC provincial conference next month.

At the heart of the conflict is the fight for the top five posts – chairperson, deputy chairperson, secretary, deputy secretary and treasurer – to be elected at the party’s provincial conference.

The fight took an ugly turn on Friday at the secret Gugulethu meeting, which was chaired and led by provincial legislature member Max Ozinsky.

At the meeting, a list of 20-odd candidates with the support of the Skwatsha faction was unveiled.

This list excludes Rasool and all his supporters, including most of the provincial ministers in his cabinet.
