Lekota: 'Comrades' Must Be Equal Before The Law

Defence Minister Masouia Lekota continues to suprise. In a conference before the SADTU conference Lekota stated that even though the government he is part of is arresting his ‘comrades’ all are equal before the law as envisaged in the Freedom Charter.

Is it just me but does anyone else think this could be the start of a stealth campaign for the presidency for Lekota? He seems to placing himself squarely in the Mbeki camp and is lately making statements he knows the press will report on in a positive light.

As we get closer to the ANC NEC I expect a whole lot more of these unofficial campaign speeches by the various contenders for the presidency.
