THERE is a worker song that trade unionists always haul out when spirits are flagging at their protest marches or funerals. It is particularly loved by members of the SA Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers' Union. To a catchy tune, the chorus goes: “Ma ku lwiwe! Ma ku lwiwe!” (Let's have the fight! Let's have the fight!). It's an angry song, a call to break the deadlock, to have the deciding battle so that it is clear who is in charge and who is not. It may be time for a major, open crisis and battle inside the ANC.
