Zuma clears big hurdle on road to Mangaung

President Jacob Zuma’s bid for a second term as ANC leader at Mangaung in December seems to be safer than ever after the voice of his loudest critic, ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, was silenced yesterday.

The ANC is set to decide over the next few days whether Malema will have to vacate his position immediately, or be given a 14-day stay of execution while arguments in mitigation of his five-year suspension are being heard.

Crisis in Political Leadership?

For quite a number of years the Department of education in the province of the Eastern Cape has not been stable. This department has been beset by a variety of problems ranging from scholar transport, service providers, non-delivery of stationery and textbooks for Section 20 schools, school nutrition and redeployment of teachers.

It has to be noted that at the helm of the Department itself there has been no stability both politically and administratively. It is difficult to count the number of times the MECs for education and their Superintendent-Generals have been changed in this province. At some point the National government revoked Section 100 of the Constitution of the Republic and intervened in an attempt to salvage the situation.
