Today's Sowetan editorial comment "Ministers' hissy fit risk to all" was spot on. What were they really thinking? ANC president Jacob Zuma made a call for all ANC ministers and deputy ministers to continue their work and serve the people of our country but they chose to defy him and the NEC. By all of this, they violated the solemn declaration of their membership that they will abide by the aims and objectives of the ANC as set out in the Constitution. The Constitution makes clear that ANC members who hold elective office in any sphere of governance at national, provincial or local level are required to be members of the appropriate caucus, to function within its rules and to abide by its decisions. It's therefore clear that their intention was self-serving and preposterous with agenda to create a cloud of uncertainty and destabilise the market. I expected Thabo Mbeki to provide a high level of leadership on the legal technicalities with regard to the interpretation of the country's constitution together with the NEC to address far-reaching economic and political implications of the en masse resignations of cabinet ministers. Instead he allowed them to resort to hollywood-style of breaking news to embarrass the ANC and its constitutional structures in pursuit of their personal interests above those of the organisation and the country. Strangely, the so-called constitutional law expert Shadrack Gutto does not say anything about the wisdom of such a step. Yet was quick to label the NEC decision to recall Mbeki as "democratic and unwise." This is not only absurd and unintelligent rhetoric but a total disdain for the ANC leadership and general membership. In August 1989, National Party caucus meeting asked PW Botha to resign for strategic reasons and FW de Klerk became acting state president the next day. Where was Gutto? Illiterate views based on little knowledge can be very disastrous. Be as it may, the challenge facing the ANC now is to accept the decision of those resigned and continue the work for organisational renewal and unity in a struggle to build a better life for all.

This means nothing except to say the resignees as deployees of the ANC defied the NEC's call for all ANC Ministers and Deputy Ministers, to continue their work and serve the people of our country. By all this, violated the solemn declaration of their membership that they will abide by the aims and objectives of the ANC as set out in the Constitution. The Constitution makes clear that ANC members who hold elective office in any sphere of governance at national, provincial or local level are required to be members of the appropriate caucus, to function within its rules and to abide by its decisions under the general provisions of this Constitution and the constitutional structures of the ANC. Ask yourself if these deployees have acted in the true spirit of these important values or their action is simply a demonstration of anger in solidarity to the release of Thabo Mbeki as president of the republic. This is despite the statement by JZ that the ANC will be sending NEC deployees to all provinces and regions to brief our structures on the new developments. Be as it may, the challenge facing us now is to accept their decision and move forward as a united and coherent force of the working class in a struggle to build a better life for all. I am convinced that the NEC will sit and strategise given these circumstances and identify disciplined cadres of our movement at national and provincial level equal to the task to replace them accordingly. We will meet at the next NGC to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the current administration in making the country move forward and that stability is maintained in governance and service delivery, including the political assessment of the ANC as a ruling party in a quest to continue the work for organisational renewal and unity. Viva Polokwane! Power to the People!
