Key supporters of former president Jacob Zuma in the Radical Economic Transformation faction, reject proposal to nominate Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as ANC presidential candidate.
Key supporters of former president Jacob Zuma within the ANC’s radical economic transformation faction have rejected the proposal to nominate Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as the party’s presidential candidate.
However, The Witness has since established that attempts by senior members of the ANC RET faction, which includes suspended party secretary general Ace Magashule, to get the faction to embrace Dlamini-Zuma hit a brick wall after a significant number of the faction’s members rejected her. In 2017 we stuck our necks out for her, and some of us were even purged by the Ramaphosa faction for supporting her — we paid a heavy price. But what did she do after that conference? She formed an alliance with the Ramaphosa camp. When we spoke out against certain tendencies with the Ramaphosa camp, not even once did she support us. And yet we are being told to support her again.
