"It is more important than at any other time, given the political challenge the faces all of us," he said. Zuma said the ANC "had taken resolutions that will need a bigger majority to implement". In an apparent reference to the ANC break-away party he again repeated that the organisation was faced with "political challenges" The ANC leader arrived in the Western Cape on Thursday and had spent the past four days on a so-called "public engagement" which has seen him visit Mitchells Plain and the wine lands' town of Paarl among others. |
