Dear editor,
I was not surprised when the leader of South Africa’s official opposition, Helen Zille, said that she would welcome a split in the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party.

She was responding to former Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota’s threat on Wednesday to form new party.

Although Hellen wants us to believe that the spilt would end what is seen as a black dominated party, the reality is that she wants a weak opposition.

All politicians do so. Any mistake made by your rival, must be exploited.

So, let the ANC suffer as it is digging its own grave.

Hellen is very smart!
