Sello Moloto, the Limpopo premier, says it is time that ANC members started speaking out against; what he terms; attempts to turn the problems of Jacob Zuma, the deputy ANC president, into a national grievance.
Moloto, who is also chairperson of the ANC in the province, was addressing a South African Communist Party (SACP) gathering attended by President Thabo Mbeki in Polokwane.
He says Zuma's unruly supporters, who walked out on Mbeki in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday, have no place in the tripartite alliance. Moloto says issues affecting an individual should be treated as such.
Meanwhile, Kgalema Motlanthe, the ANC secretary-general, says he has been in touch with S'bu Ndebele, the KwaZulu-Natal ANC chairperson, and Mbeki on what steps can be taken against those elements
