document.write("To me these actions by Teror sounds like some sort of pr stunt with an intention to confuse people and maybe to check how the public would respond... first it was an open letter and now a press statement... if their plan is to influence the masses then they've chosen the wrong medium to do so. Teror & his disgruntled friends lack political acumen. Where are the leaders? Where are the elders of the movement? what are they saying about such lousy politicians? . Sifiso");

document.write("Why would a person who is not part of the leadership call \"comrades\", who is messing around with ANC policies here? What gives him the right to call ANC members into a meeting without a mandate from any structure? I hope the people of SA can see this thing for what it is!!!<br /><br />No one called \"comrades\" without a mandate when TM's decisions were not accepted, but it was brought before the ANC structures. .

document.write("I have been pondering this proposed move by Mr Lekota and his friends and ask myself the question.<br />\"Why, if I were a solid ANC member of many years standing,would I want to leave all I had built up over those years to bunch of selfserving individuals and go out and start a new political party.Why don't I, as a strong and valued member of my party make a move to oust these Johhny Come Lately's and get on with the business of running the ANC as it should be run?\"<br />I believe that a proposed breakaway faction of the ruling party will severly damage the ANC and that we minority parties will then take up the void created by the infighting and rule the <br />country as it should be ruled.<br />That is... RULE OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE.<br />Good luck, Terror!<br /> . Stephen Williams");

document.write("Simple how a 'comrade' can call 'comrades' together. Whether it's  a party, company, government, when people are not happy with the leadership, they should be able to state their case instead of just being told to shut up. What happens when the person in the street, who hasn't got any 'power' within the party, has a complaint? Should they burn, stab or shoot people to get attention. How do you expect people that aren't happy with where the ANC leadership is going to be heard? I hope the people of SA can see this for what it is!!! Democracy at work. AS to calling a mandate when TM was president of the ANC, they couldn't because if they did, and decided to to form a 'faction party', the ANC's >1 Billion assets would have been out of reach. Any new faction will have to start (financially) from scratch. Maybe you can explain to us how people can express disatisfation at where the ANC is heading, or should they just shut the #### up and let the leadership do what they want whether they agree or not???.

The Xhozas supposting mbeki, and The Zulu's JZ ? This is the only fear, and then we have a ZIM 2 all over again. Jollifier");
