Loss of minority votes troubles Zuma

President Jacob Zuma is worried that statements by some senior ANC leaders before the municipal elections could have divided minority voters.

Party spokesperson Jackson Mthembu briefed journalists in Pretoria about Zuma’s political report presented at a national executive committee meeting which started on Friday.

In it, Zuma calls very serious introspection on the ANC’s loss of minority votes, a trend also evident in the 2009 national polls.

Meanwhile, apparent dissatisfaction with election results has led to the torching of a councillor’s house in the Free State village of Tsetsi.
