South Africa, are you ready to handle two ANCS?

What is happening in the ANC is good for the country. We have been waiting for this for a very long time. The split in the ANC is now unavoidable. There are going to be two ANCS: Rupert ANC and RET ANC. The Rupert ANC is going to be strong because of its financial muscles. The RET ANC is going to be a weaker one due to limited resources. Come election day, the Rupert ANC is likely to get less than 50% and is likely to form a coalition with the DA to rule the country. RET ANC is likely to have an alliance with the EFF. These are exciting times in the future. Watch this space. The elite faction of the ANC is winning. Those who are in the know say even in the NEC they are in majority and they are winning all debates. The RET faction is pinning its hopes on branches. They want the national conference to be brought forward so that new leadership is elected. Watch this space, a lot of things are happening now.

All appeals to President Cyril Ramaphosa to cut speed limits in line with calls from the World Health Organisation, from Childsafe, and from the Road Safety Action Campaign, aimed at cutting pedestrian and child deaths in some areas by nearly 100% have failed.

ZANDILE GUMEDE

Sometimes when some people feel they are about to depart this earth they make shocking confessions. I don’t blame her. Maybe it is her own way of making things right with her ANC ancestors. My wish is to see you retire from politics and drama.

Step aside: Tell your supporters to back off and allow the law and the rules of the NEC to be implemented. This is one of the reasons for the divisions. The ANC is united like a pack of hyenas over a carcass, so they unite while making funds disappear. She should do the right thing and step aside. United in corruption and impoverishing the country while enriching yourselves.

ODDS AND ENDS

Very sad state of affairs without the death penalty in SA. Predators like this don’t understand kind words and prison terms or rehabilitation programmes.

Your page 1 story on Wednesday says DNA tests are to be conducted on the victims of the fiery N3 crash on Monday. In your story below that, Police Minister Bheki Cele apologises for the massive backlog in processing DNA specimens – dating back to 2019. So I suppose we’ll only identify Monday’s crash victims in two years’ time. We are in a sad state of affairs and just can’t do anything right.

Heads must roll over delivery, Daily News 12/5/21. Dear mayor can you please assist by getting overgrown grass to be cut at a vacant property in Woodview I complained to Phoenix Parks department around January this year and to date no action. This area is dangerous and is full of criminal activity. Maybe our councillor can please assist.

Before we throw stones at other police forces we should have a good look at the brutality of our own. What has been the outcome of Marikana?

Due to the really poor service and attitude of Vodacom superstore staff at the Pavilion, toward potential customers, I will not support Vodacom.
