“A Coffin raised with the words “RIP Zuma” at #ANC112. I am no fan of the man, but this at a celebration of the ruling party? The same ANC running to the ICJ waving the humanity flag. ANC will lose KZN and expect to see political killings increase” says @heinwelman
“Even in student politics they’ve abandoned this because is inhumane and disgusting. ANC is old and big organization to do this shenanigans”, @bafotlhasedi.
While @sia_nkuna says the party lacks leadership.
“The ANC is leaderless. That stunt of a coffin written “RIP Zuma” was a clear indication that we are led by ama phara. Real leaders would have stopped such nonsense and demonstrate leadership. Anyway, being a leader can’t be bought.”
