Opposition Zille: 'Stop Zuma' Drive Denied ANC Two-thirds
Majority
South African News Updates
3 May 2009
The "Stop
Zuma" campaign denied the African National Congress
(ANC) a two-thirds majority in the recent elections,
Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille wrote in
her weekly newsletter on Friday.
"The fact that the ANC
failed to get its two-thirds majority is a direct
result of the DA's drive to 'Stop Zuma'."
The "Stop Zuma" campaign was launched in response to
what Zille termed the extent of the ANC's plans to
change the Constitution and entrench its powers.
She said these intentions were clear from a draft
constitutional amendment which showed that the ANC
wanted to reduce municipalities to administrative arms
of central government.
"Some [analysts] said that the ANC would not change
the Constitution because it had not done so in the
past," she wrote.
Zille said the analysts ignored the fact that the
constitutional amendment appeared in the government
gazette in the same week as the "Stop Zuma" campaign
was launched.
In her weekly letter Zille said the DA had achieved a
"historic result" in the past elections.
"We now have the support and momentum to win towns and
cities across the country in the 2011 local government
elections, and to form the core of an alternative
government nationally in 2014.
"We now have 67 members of Parliament in the National
Assembly [up from 47], and we will be allocated a
further 10 seats in the National Council of
Provinces," she wrote.
In the April 22
elections the ANC received 65,9% of the vote, the DA
received 16,66% and the Congress of the People
received 7,42%. -- Sapa
