Bid to oust Zuma soon - Samwu
2010-03-05 15:02
Johannesburg - There was a movement within the ANC to push for a
motion of no confidence in South African President Jacob Zuma later
this year, the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) said on Friday.
"Counter revolutionaries" within the leading party was moving to
"recall" the president, said Mathandeki Nhlapo, general secretary of
the Congress of SA Trade unions affiliate.
At a briefing, he said the group consisted of "progressive elements"
within the leadership of the ANC - which is in an alliance with Cosatu
and the SA Communist Party.
Nhlapo would not name these individuals, but said it was the same
group which leaked information on a planned coup on former president
Thabo Mbeki's government before the ANC's Polokwane conference in
2007.
At the time, a report was circulated claiming that businessmen Tokyo
Sexwale and Cyril Ramaphosa were behind an attempt to remove Mbeki
from the presidency.
Chaos
Nhlapo said the people who leaked the report were responsible for the
possible vote of no confidence against Zuma. They wanted to "cause
chaos" in the country.
"Those people are still within the movement, but they are in the way
of what we are doing," he said. "We need to crush those people and
brutally so."
Nhlapo said there was "very, very serious" political tension within
the ANC-led tripartite alliance. He said Samwu, which "demands"
socialism, would defend Zuma.
"Some elements in the ANC want to make changes prematurely," he said.
"The ANC cannot be hijacked as we now see happening. We will deal with
corruption that is killing the ANC at this time."
