SA politicians don't 'click'
Obama did. But experts say local political parties don't understand the value of a techno-savvy campaign.
DA: We didn't copy Obama
Some say the DA's new logo bears a striking resemblance to a logo we've seen before.

Lekota, ANC leaders meet

  • Lekota is 'power hungry'
  • ANC acts to limit Mbeki fallout
  • 'Split from the ANC if you want'
  • ANC 'dissidents' meet
  • Johannesburg - Former defence minister Mosiuoa Lekota has met ANC leaders in Johannesburg, party spokesperson Ishmael Mnisi said on Monday.

    He said the meeting took place at Luthuli House.

    Mnisi did not give details on the nature of the talks or on which leaders were present.

    Lekota sharply criticised the new ANC leadership in an open letter to secretary-general Gwede Mantashe last week.

    He accused the leaders of steering the organisation "away from the established policy priorities and customary democratic norms of the ANC".

    The letter was seen as yet another indication of an impending split in the ruling party, on the heels of its recall of former president Thabo Mbeki and a swathe of resignations, including those of Cabinet members and Gauteng premier Mbhazima Shilowa.

    Transport Minister Jeff Radebe, a member of the NEC, responded in his own open letter, saying: "Put bluntly, you and those who share your views are giving notice to leave the ANC."

    Lekota had claimed that ANC members who expressed views contrary to popular opinion were later "hounded out" and "purged" from organisational and state structures.

    "Sectoral and individual interests other than those flowing from the people's interests as expressed in the Freedom Charter are elevated to levels of national priority."

    Lekota, who has served as ANC chairperson, has since been likened by the ANC Youth League to a dying horse aiming his last kicks at the party.

    The ANC's Free State branch has described him as confused and power-hungry.

    "For some strange reason (he) believes that the ANC is his personal heritage," spokesperson Teboho Sikisi said on Monday.
