Cadres Let me first wish you all the best for year 2009. The SCA has overtuned Nicholson's judgement and the ANC president defence team has approached the Constitutional court therefore we can all wait for the Con-court to proceed and finalize the matter. I'd like to state it clear that as members of the ANC and the alliance at large support both the President and the former.
However the challenge with the former president is that he doesn't appreciate the support of the members. One good example is that of Gauteng delegates who included him on the national list to parliament but he refused citing his own personal reason than the organization. The other good one is that when the ANC leadership said they would expect him to participate in the election campaign he again rejected the ANC also citing his personal problems. On the other hand people like Tokyo, Ramaphosa, Nkosazana Zuma and many more participated fully in the ANC despite having lost in leadership contestations. Surely if you are a member of any MDM structures would understand that we abide by democratic centralism, therefore we expect each and every member to participate fully in any of the organizational work be it in the Cosatu, SACP, ANC and PYA. ANC LIVES ANC LEADS, VIVA ANC LEADERSHIP VIVA ( Including Thabo Mbeki as an ex-officio member of the current leadership) Forwad to ANC election victory Mr Sifiso S.

How can a judge say that ex president Mr Thabo Mbeki is guilty on certain issues without alowing him representation. Comrades it is clear that there is a conspiracy agaist Mr Jacob Zuma but that alone doesnt make him innocent on charges laid agains him .And one question comrades id like to ask is why is it Mbeki or Zuma, why cant we support them both as ex president and current president of this respected organisation.
