ANC spirit willing but flesh is weak

Despite its myriad conferences and committee meetings, proper, thoughtful introspection has never been an ANC strong point.

Whenever it has felt under attack, it has scapegoated everything from whites to imperialists to enemies of the revolution.

That last is ironic because - despite what many right-wingers believe - Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin are spinning in their graves at ANC claims it is leading a “national democratic revolution” towards socialism.
