'Feasting on fruits of office tripped ANC'

Former president Kgalema Motlanthe has told ANC supporters they have nothing to worry about if the party loses because this does not mean the country will plunge back into turmoil.Motlanthe - who also served as ANC deputy president until December 2012, when he challenged President Jacob Zuma for the party's leadership - endorsed the outcomes of the local government elections as reflective of "a population which is beginning to embrace a variety of ideas".
