Durban - ANC Deputy President Jacob Zuma on Sunday warned against too much power being concentrated in the "state house" and the presidency, saying that was what had resulted in so many coups in Africa, The Mercury reported on Monday.

Addressing a packed gathering of Cosatu shop stewards in Durban on Sunday, Zuma urged ANC members to ensure that political power remained within the organisation and with the masses.

"The organisation (ANC) should not lose power and give too much power to the state house. We must carefully read what our documents (conference discussion documents) say about this critical issue.

"All I am saying is that this is the crucial year (ANC conference), when all decisions that we take will be important for long time to come. It is going to be critical what we do about this issue of concentration of power at the policy conference (in July)," said Zuma.
