"As ANC support ebbs, dissidents gather to chart new course; Will meet to form alternative party for South Africa" by Karin Brulliard, Washington Post | December 15, 2008
JOHANNESBURG - The South African city of Bloemfontein was the birthplace nearly a century ago of the African National Congress, the liberation movement that toppled apartheid and dominates government.
Now the city is playing host to a splinter party that may herald an end to the ANC's supremacy and a new era in South Africa's young democracy. Thousands of ANC dissidents are descending on Bloemfontein for tomorrow's launch of a political organization being promoted as an alternative to a ruling party that has abandoned its ideals and drifted into corruption, intolerance, and factionalism after 14 years at the helm.
The breakaway party, called Congress of the People, is led by liberation struggle luminaries making promises of hope and change ahead of general elections next year. "We are indeed a progressive organization that is charting a new way in our country," one of its leaders, ANC veteran Smuts Ngonyama, said at a recent news conference.
The breakup, triggered by the ANC's ouster of President Thabo Mbeki in September, has riveted South Africans. Newspapers regularly speculate about the next high-ranking ANC defectors. COPE, as the new party is known, said it has more than 400,000 paid members, about two-thirds as many as the ANC.
How much support the new party can draw in a few months is unclear. The ANC, which won nearly 70 percent of the vote in 2004, has is a formidable brand with a deep legacy, and polls indicate it is unlikely to lose. But surveys also show that public confidence in the ANC is waning as worries grow about the future of South Africa, where crime and poverty rates remain stubbornly high, and schools produce few skilled workers.
So COPE could wipe away the ANC's two-thirds majority, analysts say, and by allying with other small parties - which profess delight about the split - it could provide the first real opposition to the ANC. So far, the effort has produced more political theater than substance....
At their simplest, the fissures in the AMC boiled down to a split between those loyal to Mbeki, an aloof economist, and Jacob Zuma, a charismatic populist who has been battling corruption charges for years....
I'll let you guess which side the globalist MSM is taking.
Remember, Zionist Israel was the only regime to recognize the apartheid government!
