Cape Town - ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa on Saturday accused Edward Zuma of “extreme ill discipline” and “un-ANC” behaviour for publishing an open letter attacking ANC leaders Derek Hanekom and Pravin Gordhan.
Edward Zuma, who is President Jacob Zuma’s son, published the open letter earlier this week.
He referred to Hanekom as a “white monopoly capitalist offspring - who is no better than a vile dog trained to maul a black skin” and a “white Afrikaner, anti majoritarian sellout”.
Zuma referred to former finance minister Gordhan as another sellout who wants “natives to be perennially marginalised”.
Kodwa said that Zuma was a branch member of the ANC, and not in a leadership position.
“A branch member does not talk to leaders of the ANC via an open letter,” said Kodwa. “We have instructed our KwaZulu-Natal structure to deal with the matter urgently, because it constitutes ill discipline.”
