DD Mabuza reacts to jail threats
It was reported last week that President Jacob Zuma's supporters warned Premier David Mabuza that he may serve time in prison if he does not publicly declare his support for Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as the next ANC president.
Mabuza who had been considered one of the Premier League but appears to have shifted his support from the Zuma faction to that of Deputy President, Cyril Ramaphosa ahead of the African National Congress Elective Conference at the end of the year.
He was reacting to a newspaper article suggesting he had been threatened with prosecution from alleged hits on politicians and whistleblowers.
“Why wait and not arrest me now and wait until I say who do I support?
What kind of a law is that? What kind of a country is it where you say you are going to arrest a person on the basis of his or her views? That cannot happen in South Africa! We have not reached that point of persuading one another,” argued Mabuza.
