Cape Town Anglican Archbishop Thabo Mokgoba said while President Jacob Zuma has the right to hope South African voters will choose an African National Congress government, as he put it, “until Jesus comes again”, his forecast that the ANC would rule South Africa forever was unfortunate, outdated, and potentially dangerous.
Archbishop Thabo Makgoba warned that the President’s comments risked encouraging those who have a strong stake in prolonging ANC rule for an indefinite period, to attempt to ensure it even by unconstitutional means.
