Comrade "Terror" Lekota should have been disciplined immidiately after giving a press conference about the ANC without an authorization by the legitimate leadership of the organision.It was said in the media that the press briefing was to announce a new political party,and this ended up not being the case, instead he used the platform to down grade the current leadership of the ANC and justify his anger at the ANC. I therefore think the ANC treated him with kids gloves as i do not think the same could have been done to any other loyal member of the ANC who hold no elective position in the movement as he is.I believe no other political party could tollerate such a behaviour accept the ANC. It is puzzling that the media hand find Mr Lekotas ultering about a Freedom Charter worth news, as his deeds and his history says the contrary. The Freedom Charter says there shall be free and compulsory education for all, and indeed i have not heard him championing this in all the platforms he had as a cabinet member and a Chairperson of the ANC for 10 years. To me he only remembered the Freedom Charter after loosing power and influence within the ANC after Polokwane, and when he needs to create his own little kingdom just as those Of Major Genl. Bantu Holomisa (UDM)leader and Dr. Mangosuthu Buthelezi (IFP). About the mentioning of tribalism in his briefings scared me to death as i have experience of the consequences of using such words, more expecially if such words could be used by a person who should know better about the history of this country, and than went back to address a gathering full of people of one tribe opposite that he mentioned in a press conference.True the ANC has worked so hard to build this nation as one people in their diversity therefore the word tribalism does not exist in our South African language and i wonder where did he get it from and i suggest he has to take it back cause we do not need it now and forever. i think he deserve suspention together with those that employes similar tactics when they loose positions democratically.
