IT HAS become the politics of utter puzzlement. There are now so many different takes on whether disaffected ANC members will or won't launch a new splinter party that South Africans could be forgiven for wondering if there is any coherent line even within the "new" ANC, never mind in the party as a whole.

Open letter to Essop Pahad and the ruling elite of South Africa The totally ridiculous remarks of the esteemed Minister – Essop Pahad – in the Presidency (Think tank of outdated communistic ideology in the Union Building) can not pass unchallenged.
