Johannesburg – More than 200 delegates singing songs in favour of President Jacob Zumadisrupted a walkabout by Deputy PresidentKgalema Motlanthe during the ANC’s policy conference as divisions among delegates spilled out into the open.

The group, mostly delegates from KwaZulu-Natal, stunned bystanders when they marched out of the lunch venue, holding up two fingers indicating both a second term and transition and singing: “uZuma yo, second transition. Sivumelana [we all agree]”.

They also sang “those who burn Zuma’s T-shirt will get a bullet” and other songs in praise of Zuma.

It started when, during Motlanthe’s walkabout, the group, which had dwindled to 70 stormed through the exhibition hall while singing pro-Zuma songs.
