ANALYSIS: Going RETrograde – Zikalala’s questioning of ConCourt supremacy opens a new front in ANC leadership battle

It appears that the KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala is joining the contestation between our elected politicians and our judges, on the RET side.

Five years ago, Zikalala was one of the key players in the contest between President Cyril Ramaphosa and the now Cogta Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma. KZN was easily the biggest ANC province and it had been since Polokwane, 10 years earlier.

However, that does not mean that Zikalala’s new direction will not have an impact, or that there is not a bigger strategy at play here. Of course, this may also help to strengthen the EFF. On Monday, Julius Malema told a Human Rights Day rally that no one could win a case against Ramaphosa because our judges were corrupt. He presented no evidence of this.

These attacks were from National Party politicians, white people, angry that they could not remove a group of coloured people from voting. One of them, a Mr Sauer referred to the court as the “Five Old Men from Bloemfontein”.
