Jacob Zuma attacked for instilling discipline‚ argues Bathabile Dlamini
"When you beat a dog‚ its owner comes out. The president did that‚ and that is why they are all coming out." This is what Bathabile Dlamini, the president of the ANC Women’s League (ANCWL) and the social development minister, said on Wednesday in response to those who had come out to march against Zuma. Speaking at Zuma’s 75th birthday celebrations in Kliptown‚ Soweto‚ Dlamini said Zuma was facing a revolt because he had tried to rectify those within the party who were out of line. Dlamini‚ who has also faced criticism after the social grants debacle‚ said the ANCWL would continue to throw its weight behind Zuma.
