ANC karma is coming home to roost

Zakes Nakedi, Ennerdale ext3: The booing and public spats in the ANC are the culmination of what started at Polokwane in 2007.

It was exciting when the delegates booed both the then chairman and the president of the ANC, Terror Lekota and Thabo Mbeki. The ANC bigwigs should have seized the opportunity to rebuke the delegates for not respecting the elected structures in the party.

It was obvious the delegates supported Jacob Zuma and wanted change, but the way they showed disrespect to their chairman and then-president was uncalled for.

The ANC's NEC lost control on that day in Polokwane; now the shoe is on the other foot. The very same people who were not so long ago prepared to kill for Zuma now want to kill Zuma's second term ambitions. It is called karma.

I believe that those who attended the Polokwane conference believed from that day on that it was acceptable to disrespect the ANC president, the chairman and the party structures.

The ANC needs to get its house in order sooner rather than later or the ANC won't govern till Jesus comes back.
