After four days of late-night announcements,wrathful press conferences, furious statements, or leaked speeches,it was time for the first major ANC structure to meet to discuss President Jacob Zuma, and the reaction to his factional reshuffle and removal of Pravin Gordhan from the Finance Ministry. In the finish, and the National Working Committee,surprising no one, simply resolved to “discuss” with Cosatu and the SACP their calls for Zuma to leave. At first glance it looks almost as if nothing has changed, or that Zuma is still the MacDaddy of our politics,and the game goes on the same way as it has for many years. But look a little deeper, and it’s possible that the rules of the game contain actually changed fairly dramatically. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
