'We can’t relax when we can see the counter-revolution coming. It's like an oncoming train,' the SACP general-secretary said.

The SACP believes the fire that burnt down parts of the parliamentary precinct and the attack on the Constitutional Court building are connected to last July's violent unrest.

“It is not an accident. We are suspicious this thing is planned. We can’t relax when we can see the counterrevolution coming. It's like an oncoming train.” Nzimande warned that if the ANC did not deal with factionalism, it was at a risk of not only losing support among the urban working class, small businesses and professionals but that it would, like Zanu-PF in Zimbabwe, become a rural movement that does not have an urban base.The fact that it does not control a single metro in Gauteng is something it should seriously reflect upon.

Nzimande said public-sector workers were unhappy that the government didn't honour the 2018 wage agreement and this could have upset the urban working class and contributed to the ANC losing the metros. “Some of our comrades, if they are comrades, they are refusing to hear the voice of the people crying that this is no longer the ANC we know,” he said.

This Cosatu is dead nje they must jus shut up Masende abo futhi

He is not a Communist. He doesn't sounds like one. 'students must fall'

A capitalist

He knows nothing about counter revolutionary,he was an Inkatha brigade now he talks like a politician

What exactly links all these ntoni-ntoni's? Any substantive clue? Or is it just inferences & innuendos?

Fake communists,how can a communist party support va puppet like Cyril, knowing well about circumstances around Hani death

If he has information of the link he must go and report it to the police station. We tired of baseless accusations all times.

What exactly did they do during July? 🤔

More like an abyss that the Alliance is racing towards.

Why does it look like our intelligence is chasing ghosts!!!? Always reactive rather than proactive!!!

How does one correlate things without providing empirical evidence that suggests that correlation, unless there is too much blood in your alcohol!

Well it is Epiphany today.

'I wish I knew': Mapisa-Nqakula on whether parliament fire can be linked to July violent unrest'There is nothing as dangerous as coming to a conclusion which is not informed by a proper analysis by those trained to do so,' said Mapisa-Nqakula. This is a smart woman right here, that's why cu cake doesn't like her, she's not irrational she's a critical thinker. Why is TimesLIVE not pointing fingers at who was responsible for the security, the lapse of it etc. Ministers heads must fall, speaker of parliaments head must fall. How will this help?
