Picture: David Ritchie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Cape Town &#8211;<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">With less than a week to go until the ANC\u2019s crucial Mangaung elective conference, its deeply divided Western Cape leaders have hurled insults, with Songezo Mjongile accusing Marius Fransman of dictatorship for proposing a 10-year term of office for Jacob Zuma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Fransman, the provincial chairman, responded by accusing Mjongile, the provincial secretary, of stupidity. Fransman had claimed to the media the province wanted the ANC constitution amended to double the term of the party\u2019s top six leaders from five to 10 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">He had argued that such a move would bring stability to a party beset by internal battles over the choice of leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Fransman wants ANC president Jacob Zuma given a second term while Mjongile wanted Zuma replaced by ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">At Wednesday\u2019s ANC Western Cape provincial council, 99 votes were cast in favour of Motlanthe and 90 for Zuma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">On Friday, Fransman said the province would propose a constitutional amendment at Mangaung and that there was support for such a move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Mjongile said neither Wednesday\u2019s council nor one held in June had decided on a constitutional amendment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cIt is not a provincial position at all. If we take such a position, it will be undemocratic. It is draconian. The right of ANC ordinary members to decide on leadership must not be interfered with. Giving10-year terms means putting some people in government for 10 years &#8211; meaning you want to change the constitution of the republic. It is akin to dictatorship,\u201d Mjongile said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">He said Fransman, as international relations and co-operation deputy minister had a personal interest in a 10-year term for top ANC leaders who had appointed him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cIt is his master\u2019s voice. It is very unfortunate and we must guard against this. Once we start toying with such ideas it will lead to changing the country\u2019s constitution and us having life presidents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Fransman hit back saying: \u201cI don\u2019t believe Songezo could have said those things. It is politically stupid. It is stupidity at its highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">He said the June provincial council had not decided on a constitutional amendment, but had agreed members were entitled to their own views and seek support for them. He said all delegates to Mangaung had a right to propose issues for discussion at the conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cIf anyone says there has been no instability in the last two years and the last few months, it is being stupid. I stand by what I said.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">He said ANC members were entitled to air their views about Zuma\u2019s leadership and while this should be done within party structures, some members had publicly criticised and insulted Zuma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">aziz.hartley@inl.co.za<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\"><strong>Cape Times<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>View article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iol.co.za\/insults-fly-between-cape-anc-leaders-1.1438324\" title=\"Insults fly between Cape ANC leaders\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Insults fly between Cape ANC leaders<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INLSA Marius Fransman addresses the media on progress regarding nominations.
