Tshwane Violence: Thoko Didiza and Jacob Zuma must come out of hiding
22 June 2016
As Tshwane enters another day of violence and volatility fuelled by the ANC’s internal "civil war", the big question remains: where are Thoko Didiza and Jacob Zuma while the Capital burns?
It is a sign of an imposed mayoral candidate that Thoko Didiza has been nowhere to be seen while ANC violence brings Tshwane to its knees. Didiza’s first action as mayoral candidate was to go into hiding.
The violence in Tshwane is undeniably political in nature, but the ANC refuses to accept responsibility for the actions of its members. The President, and Leader of the ANC, is yet to make a public statement condemning the violence or even to call for calm.
While the Capital burnt, Zuma instead chose to host a comfortable summit.
