Toyko And Kgalema Fight One Battle

Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale have joined forces in a bid to overthrow President Jacob Zuma at the forthcoming ANC elective conference.

 Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale take on President Jacob Zuma at the forthcoming ANC elective conference. Motlanthe getting ready to be officially nominated to run for the party presidency in Mangaung in December with Sexwale being roped in as his deputy. On Friday, he gave a hint of what his campaign will look like as he fired a broadside against embattled Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga over the Limpopo textbooks scandal. Motlanthe told guests at the second anniversary of Lead SA that "The failure to deliver school books and the textbooks is indicative of a passive citizenry whose silence is complicit in the commission of such a tragic folly".  
Motlanthe's decision to attack Motshekga is the first of a series of public addresses he is going to use to boost his campaign, while Motlanthe has been treading carefully so far, he knows what is at stake politically should he challenge Zuma. If he does not win, he will lose his current positions in the ANC and the government. Hopefully the relationship 
Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale

The challenge facing Motlanthe and Sexwale is whether the two leaders can work together given the previous tension between them in the run-up to the Polokwane conference. Motlanthe attacked Sexwale's bid for the ANC presidency shortly before the 2007 conference, saying "appearing on television does not make one a leader in the ANC". http://www.sundayworld.co.za/news/2012/08/06/anti-zuma.alliance
Hopefully the communication between Motlanthe and Sexwale is built on a rock, because now they look like they speak the same language. But in this political world you can never guaranties your position until it is in your hands. Do you think Motlanthe has made the right decision by attacking Zuma with Toyko, or one is being played between them? for more information you can e-mail at, kimtim.tivani@gmail.com

    The ANC has turned into a laughing stock with zuma this zuma that nowonder why his cabinet would wish to overthow him or wish to see him abdicate the throan of presidency because it seems like just a few in the ANC would wish to welcome him back as president for the second term.

    I dont think Motlanthe`s attack to our president made a difference because Zuma is not responsible for the textbook scandals instead he should have thought about how are they going to deliver the books to leaners in their respective schools because they they now left behind and final exams are just around the corner.

    i guess this is a strategy of taking Zuma out of his position since he seems so comfortable in it.

    I do not know what is going on with the ANC these days.If it's not corruption it's leaders fighting over positions.The party has soo much drama,and is loosing it's touch and if this continues they wil lose their members to the DA or any other party for that matter.People are sick and tired of this
