Juju is Fighting Back

By now you supposed to know that Juju is suspended from the ANC for 5 years. Some of you might be celebrating and some of you might be sad. Me on the contrary is excited. The last time I was this excited was with the NSFAS protest marches on campus.

We are entering an interesting period ahead. Some of you might have heard of Mangaung 2012 and might have wondered what it was all about. Let me explain this by taking you back to September 2008, when Thabo Mbeki was asked to step down as the President of South Africa.

Most middle class people were upset and Lekota and his cabal use this opportunity to start COPE; hoping Thabo would join which we all know never happened. So when Juju this year for a second time was called for a disciplinary hearing, I was just expecting yesterday's outcome.

But what I did not expect was Juju fighting back. This make me wonder whether this will be the repeat of the Zuma story. For those of you that do not know what I am talking about, let's go back to 2005. In 2005 Thabo Mbeki fired Zuma as the deputy president of South Africa but failed to expel him from the party.

Would this be a case of Juju come back and kick Zuma out of the ANC at Mangaung? Or is this the end of Juju? Like I said very interesting times ahead.

PS: For those of you that is still in the dark about Mangaung, it is where the next ANC conference will be taking place. The conference is going to elect or re-elect the President of the ANC who most probably is going to become the next president of South Africa.
