ANC acting secretary-general Jessie Duarte is being protected by private security after receiving anonymous threats.
“Anyone who is in a public position like I am, would have people who don’t like you and would want to see you hurt. Personally I do not wish to become the story anywhere. My life is going to go on. I am going to continue to work for the ANC.
“I will continue to ensure that others in the ANC do the work of the ANC and are disciplined as they do it. If they fall out of line, the ANC’s constitution will kick in,” she said, adding that she did not know where the threats emanated from. “It’s a private number or a number when you call back, the number does not exist. Those are the kind of things that have been happening,” she said.
On Sunday the ANC's Nomvula Mokonyane told eNCA that, “from where I am seated, it’s something that can only be done by men who are dealing with their own insecurities and men who are threatened by the capabilities of this woman”. She added that Duarte was a threat to some because she was doing “great work by holding the fort in the political administration of the ANC and I think all of us, not only women, the entire ANC, should rally behind comrade Duarte and reaffirm that she is now the one holding the fort in the office of the secretary-general.”
