one thing that's very interesting to me about this is that the turmoil is maybe(?? I know nothing of this publication) being covered in India with an angle that no media outlet in the US would ever ever take https://www.opindia.com/2021/07/anti-white-indian-bigotry-south-africa-racism-african-national-congress-economic-freedom-fighters-eff/amp/ …pic.twitter.com/t0aAJrqcTz

@mrchan maybe a xhosa-zulu intra-ANC struggle going on as usual I have no ability to evaluate these claimshttps://twitter.com/DavidAnsara/status/1414617926154416130?s=19 …eigenrobot added,
David Ansara @DavidAnsara1/ Zulu speakers have long felt marginalized in the ANC. There were similar complaints made during the Mbeki era of a 'Xhosa Nostra' that was sidelining Zulus. Mbeki appointed Zuma to solve the 'Zulu problem' in the party, but this ultimately backfired at Polokwane.Show this thread5 replies 0 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -

Robert Duigan @uMarhobaneReplying to @eigenrobot @mrchanThe Xhosa dominated the ANC from 1912 until 2008. Zuma came out on a ticket of "100% Zulu", and cut IFP (Zulu trad party) support in half in KZN. Zuma became a scapegoat for the ANC's failures, thus a zero-sum narrative game emerged to keep the whole system afloat.3 replies 1 retweet 40 likesShow this thread -

Replying to @eigenrobot
5 minutes of research yielded something interesting, apparently Zuma left puppets in the intelligence apparatus who’ve been able to direct looting, deliberately fan the flames and etc to sabotage the current guy and the general economic situation. current guy never purged them
