Comrades What about sowing divisions and bringing organization to disrepute. I am under impression that they were consulted where they also made statement in support.
Thus Gwede considering instituting charges against those who go beyond alliance resolves. I guess inconsistency would destroy our movement. Leaders must refrain from using their authority to boost their ego. Vanguard!
