TheTimes.jpg The ANC is in trouble, so close ranks, says Duarte George Matlala, The Times, Johannesburg, 2 June 2016 The ANC is in trouble and faces a hostile takeover of power similar to the one in Brazil. So says ANC deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte. Speaking at the central committee meeting of the National Union of Mineworkers, she said many of the protests were not about service delivery but fights over power and resources. "The sad thing about our country is that where the ANC has truly delivered you find the worst nature protests. The reality is that BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is being attacked at the moment. What happened to Rousseff in Brazil could happen so easily here tomorrow because of what people call a colour revolution," she said. "And the examination of those protests are less about service delivery and more about a fight about resources and power and leadership greed. And so are we in trouble? Yes. And what must we do? We must close ranks now. A lower house in Brazil's National Congress has voted for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment following mass protests. Duarte implored mineworkers not to turn their backs on the "coming fight". "This fight that we are in is also being experienced in Brazil and Venezuela for example. Progressive governments are being replaced by right wing political coalitions," she said.
