A Ramaphosa lieutenant in the NEC, who wished to remain anonymous, told thecould further divide the ANC. The image of the 80-year-old veteran, handcuffed and whisked away to the nearest KwaZulu-Natal correctional services facility might tip the scales “marginally” slightly against Ramaphosa, they added.
“It will be a debate, but what is good is that the ANC officials have tried to engage the former president. So it’s not as if this is something we just ignored. The ANC has been put in a very precarious situation, because this is not a good thing for a former ANC president to go through. It doesn’t [paint] a good picture for the ANC,” they added.
“It may divide the NEC further, because there is always the view that there are some of us who control the judiciary. It’s a tough one for the ANC. We also know his [Zuma’s] intentions,” the high-ranking Ramaphosa lieutenant said. “He wants to create instability and the ANC will be more unstable now. KZN might be more unstable, but maybe it’s necessary to get to this point so that we get over it.” An NEC member and Magashule supporter said this could come back to bite Ramaphosa and his cabinet.
“Precedents are very dangerous. This can come back to bite the sitting president and ministers. It is a judgment that some of us in the NEC will see as an infringement on the former president’s right to a fair trial. Many of us wonder if we will be next,” the party leader and NEC member said. Even though the former president wields some significant support in the NEC, with many of its members benefiting from his terms in office, his influence over branches is exaggerated.
But what does zuma support have anything to do with Ramaphosa the current president, zuma being the former prez who'll never be president again. I don't get this stupid narrative though
