The leadership said the revolutionary council had supported state and ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa during his campaign, leading to the ruling party’s elective conference last December. The regional leadership described the revolutionary council as a coalition of “the wounded” who resorted to fighting if nothing “goes their way”. It said this group had an agenda to enforce regime change so as to clear the path for members of the group, the revolutionary council, to ascend to power. The regional leadership said the revolutionary council had hijacked legitimate community protests to further its own agenda. The regional leadership said the premier’s recall must be performance-based and supported by facts.
