Tshwane Violence: cowardly ANC must accept political responsibility
23 June 2016
At the ANC’s mayoral candidate introduction today, the ANC failed yet again to take political responsibility for the violent protests that have racked the City of Tshwane, and which resulted in the loss of 5 lives.
They also prevented their imposed mayoral candidate, Thoko Didiza, from answering any questions on the violence in Tshwane.
It is shameful that the ANC leadership, and President Zuma in particular, have still not taken responsibility for the violence.
And it is a disgrace that their mayoral candidate, Didiza, is yet to make a public appearance in Tshwane or engage with those affected by the violence. She has shown no leadership in this crisis and has chosen to remain in hiding while the City burns.
