Comrade Klaas, I don't think that it is necessary to burn a house when you want to kill a mouse. Whilst we may differ in perspective of who should lead, it is unacceptable to characterise those that differ with your views as arrogant. Again important points raised with regards to the Jacob Zuma's ascension to the highest office, the manner in which it occurred and his rape trial 6 years ago. Those with power abuse it to suit their needs and this is evident in the ANCYL being told to stop raising the succession discussion today as it is not yet the "right time" yet the very same JZ used to smile when Mbalula and later Malema raised his name as their presidential candidate. Motlanthe's silence should not be surprising as the man's character speaks for itself, he did the same thing to Thabo as his sectretary so we should not be surprised by this. Comrade Klass' insinuations, however, on the SACP branches and regions being disbanded and political charges on ANCYL NEC are out of place and unbecoming as these are his own personal views and not a true representation of what might be the actual case and therefore he must stop with them.

Since Polokwane it is generally 'acceptable' within the ANC jst before a congress to belong to a certain faction. Those in position of power disband, suspend or expel those whom they suspect don't their faction and strengthen their hold on power when the time of change has come. It is just political game.
