Isn't a major point of democracy, thay if you don't agree you free to go another road, not JUST the majority rule?<br /><br />Undying love for Mbeki?? Like the undying love for Zuma??<br /><br />Actions showed Ill-discipline??? AS in calling for violence and threatening judicial system until they get the result they wanted??<br /><br />To top it all off, the Secretary General of Cosatu, explaining to the union memebers and the media that 'internal' ANC issues should be handeled within the ANC Structures???

document.write("The ANC should still have the vast majority of votes even if there is a new splinter party, so why are they worried. Do they want total domination or 1 party state which is virtually the current set-up in the land. A new party will do the world of good as they can also be a watchdog for the government. Otherwise they will simply do whatever they want to and drag the country down as Mugabe did to Zim.<br />Strong opposition is good for all.<br />Communist system has no roots in Africa, it was created by white people in faraway lands and hardly exists anymore. Why does the ANC bother to embrace this doctrine. It is not good advertisement for the welfare of the land.  Reatty. Reatty");

document.write("Its so amazing how ANC is trying to belittle the idea of a new party. What are they nervous about? If it dwindles as they say, they wont be there to pick up the pieces, it wont be their baby. <br /><br />Why is it so terrible for people to support Mbeki? Whereas Zuma supporters do and say as they please. Zuma supporters are ready and willing to \"kill or eliminate\" for him, yet Mbeki supporters are not allowed to resign. My opinion is: Zuma supporters are woorried about the elections and how this might affect them. This is a very good sign of a growing democracy, we are tired of being bullied by the ANC, pretending to care for the poor.<br /><br />We need change! . Thandeka MApi");

A new party will provide the necessary competion to this bunch of...staffed leaders of the current ANC. Ndisatshaya. Kumkani");

document.write("I believe Cosatu is all about workers interest. I still wish to hear or read about Vavi talking nothing but worker/union issues without delving 99% into politics.<br /><br />As for Blade, is he ever going to tell/educate us more about communism and stop riding on ANC. If Mr Nzimande tells us about the ANC democracy and not communism, why is he still in SACP. Maybe it's high time he chose one ideology and save himself the confusion. Independant Analyst");
