but within the ruling party the african national congress there's been more than one motion of no confidence. in him from his own people the a.n.c. being torn apart by faction fighting at the moment and we don't have clear well balanced credible and morally sound political leadership in south africa it's tragic but it might change. a political prisoner cook and now boiling in south africa that says an explosion can be avoided but only if the a.n.c. as we know it is radically changed. what i think will happen is the a.n.c. will split because you having the same party. through red communists you have people committed to free enterprise. you have people with totally different ideological and policy principles in which they believe too many contradictions within the same party absolutely and that cannot last so i see how we talk like us and i think that will be healthy for south and within the ends within the sea itself apart from the communist party apart from. so when that split us it will put south africa in the position that it can normalize its politics away from the racially based polity.

sense of loyalty to comrades who fought in the struggle for so long, and the ideal of the african national congress belief that you all swore to. do you think perhaps some people have held onto that too long, and perhaps been too willing to put, in a crude way, party before country? no. the values you can never hold on too long. never, never, never. and the value has always had that critical self—reflection element to it. 0liver lukutandu, who i'm speaking about a lot now, he was so open—minded, so willing to embrace new ways of looking at things. but those core values of non—racism never change. that shouldn't change. the loyalty is to the values. you cannot have failed to see that, in a succession of votes of no confidence against president zuma, for all the allegations against him, the anc mps loyally trooped through the lobby supporting the president. and in the first ballot which was held with a secret ballot, the most recent, suddenly perhaps 25, maybe as many as 30 anc mps vote against him. that is a revelation, isn't it, that actually this is a corrosive thing, this loyalty to party? only w
