The fracturing of South Africa’s ruling ANC Party has split further after Mbhazima Shilowa, the provincial premier of Gauteng province, which includes Pretoria and Johanesburg, resigned from his position this week.
“I am resigning due to my convictions that while the ANC has the right to recall any of its deployed cadres, the decision needs to be based on solid facts, be fair and just,” he said.
Shilowa denied rumors that pro-Mbeki supporters are planning the creation of a new political party. “I know of no group who is starting another new party,” he said. “I cannot be party to something I do not know.”
