#KZNisBurning: Premier admits ANC factionalism role in stoking the fires of anarchy
14 July 2021
The Democratic Alliance is extremely disturbed by a media report in which Premier Sihle Zikalala has – for the second time – publicly stated that it would be good to have former President Jacob Zuma released.
The comment was made yesterday in response to media questions about whether releasing Zuma from prison would help stem the crippling violence in our province and in Gauteng.
In supporting the former President’s release, Premier Zikalala has effectively admitted that ANC internal factional battles are behind what our people have suffered these past few days.
The Premier’s comments are also nothing short of reckless and inflammatory. In fact, they are stoking the fires of anarchy and destruction in KZN.
