ANC prepares sacrificial lambs for Jacob Zuma

Relieved that public protector Thuli Madonsela did not find President Jacob Zuma “guilty” when she released her report into his Nkandla home on Wednesday, the hardliners in the ANC will now focus their attention on opposition parties and anyone within the ANC who dares to question the conduct of the president.

The ANC expressed unhappiness with government officials whom it said “have gone public with inaccurate information” and called for them to be censored. The information and description of the swimming pool as the fire pool and the details given to explain this matter constitute a misrepresentation of facts,” Mantashe said.
