document.write("<h5>Terminology</h5>");
document.write("Let us be careful what terminology we use. The COTP or COPE is no longer a fragment of the ANC. When two people move and form a new party.. that is a fragment. When 35 percent of your NEC is going... that is NOT a fragment, It's almost right down the middle.. Enoch");

document.write("Good man Smuts, Zuma is really killing the ANC and his so called Cadres it’s no longer the movement of the masses the ANC is seen as a tool or a vehicle to self wealth. I would also resign if I was a card holding member but my vote is still open!. Very");
document.write("<h5>ANC</h5>");
document.write("Whether you like the ANC or not, you must admit that the new leadership is incompetent and dangerous to SA. The ANC did alot in the past to fix unjust events(even though only to benefit few of us and not the whole population), but now they are dangerous and we need help. This time around the ANC wont get my vote, and probably not COPE, but what COPE is doing might take some power from the ANC and it gives me hope. Everyone must vote, and take a good look at party policy before you decide, because we should vote for the party with the policies that are best for the longterm sustainability of the country and economy. I want to grow old here and leave a place where my kids can live!. julius");
document.write("<h5>ZUMA THE PROBLEM</h5>");
document.write("The ANC members must start to realise that Zuma and his chronies ARE BIGGER THAN THE PARTY.If Zuma really believes the ANC is bigger tahn him he will resign cause his the deviding factor. Koos Best");
document.write("<h5>It is a pity</h5>");
document.write("It is a pity that the real leaders of the ANC have to resign, after they have bent backwards for these people that have taken them over now, just goes to show be careful who you go to bed with, they just might bite you.. chris");
document.write("<h5>ANC vs COPS</h5>");
document.write("While COPS is a 'splinter' of the ANC to a large extent. The openess with which they've approached ALL parties and peopls is refreshing. Yes Alot of their 'leader's' have ANC Baggage, but there is a definet change in attitude (in my view). This attitude of what's good for the ANC is good for the country is ####. As the ANC comments on the likely 'recruits' for COPE clearly  show, the population being poor is good for the ANC.. Lepper_Messiah");
