The gloves are off and the knives are out for KwaZulu-Natal premier Senzo Mchunu. The ANC Youth League gave him three days yesterday to distance himself from Monday's protest march - when thousands of Mchunu supporters demanded a re-election after Sihle Zikalala won the provincial chairmanship of the party earlier this month - or face being sanctioned by the party.While ANCYL provincial chairman Thami Ngubane put it politely that Mchunu should distance himself from the protest march, his secretary, Thanduxolo Sabelo, said: "The premier must say 'not in my name'. If he fails to do that we will be left with no option but to lay a charge against comrade Senzo. No individual is bigger than the ANC - not even when you have 20 blue lights behind you."Ngubane said the league strongly condemned the march and said the youth wing believed it was an act of bringing the party into disrepute and called upon the leadership of the ANC to charge the leaders of the march."We call upon the leaders whose names were used to do this act, in particular Senzo Mchunu, to come out in the open and distance himself from this act. If this is not done in three days we will take it as if the march was sanctioned by him and comrades," said Ngubane.The ANCYL also gave its strongest indication yet that with 60% of cabinet members not in the ANC's provincial executive committee, and with Zikalala jobless, a cabinet reshuffle was inevitable.Sabelo said there had never been a situation where 60% of the cabinet was outside of the ANC's executive committee in the province.He said every member of the PEC served at the behest of the ANC and no one had the birthright to be a member of the executive."The ANC sends its best cadres to serve there. But on the other hand, the newly elected provincial chairman is unemployed."All other ANC chairmen in other provinces are employed. What happens in Mpumalanga, Limpopo or Gauteng must also happen in KwaZulu-Natal."Paul Mashatile is a member of the National Assembly, David Mabuza is a member of the legislature in Mpumalanga, so is John Block in the Northern Cape."There's a vacancy now in KwaZulu-Natal and the ANC must reorganise its candidate list and deploy the chairman to the legislature in a strategic position and not as a backbencher," said Sabelo."This will make sure we avoid two centres of power and the power lies with the ANC."Sibusiso Magwaza, Mchunu's spokesman, declined to comment on the ANCYL's ultimatum."The premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Senzo Mchunu, will no longer be responding to all ANC-related questions, or offering interviews. This includes the recently held provincial ANC conference and its already known outcome."The premier is the head of the provincial government and will continue offering his services to the people of this province as per constitutional mandate," he said...
