UMKHONTO WE SIZWE MILITARY VETERANS ASSOCIATION
PRESS STATEMENT
30 MARCH 2016
Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans’ Association wishes to state its concern on the arrogant utterances of Johan Rupert, a representative of white monopoly capital, to arrogate himself on the democratic choice of the members of the ANC, and indeed the people of South Africa. His call to the African National Congress to oust Cde President Jacob Zuma, without the due process of the law, and even the processes of the ANC, indeed shows that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The ANC as an organization has a constitution, its own principles and its own processes, which if necessary will be unfolded on any member of the movement if the need arises. The Republic has a constitution which directs and guides the laws of the country, and no one in our knowledge is above those laws, or can hold the constitution in contempt.
Perhaps Johan Rupert in his cocoon as one of the super-rich in our country does not know that, or he simply ignores that reality because of his preferential space as a very rich in a society in which the majority are poor
