The ANC, which these days exudes the kind of perpetual contradictive sweat a paradox sauna would induce, is always two things at once. As it disintegrates, hypocrisy is a natural byproduct, and the party is fairly drenched in the stuff.
One of the things it is not, is anything remotely like the spirit of Oliver Tambo, who was many things but, of them all, an ever dignified and wholly considered man of conviction. Unlike Luthuli and Mandela, he never quite cracked the Nobel Peace Prize code but, had he ever won it, no one would have complained. He was an unassuming giant to whom SA owes a great deal.
