  • Mosiuoa Lekota is calling time on his career after the May 29 elections. The man once known by his nickname “Terror” says his days of party politics are nearing an end after leading COPE since 2008. The party was launched in December 2008 after some ANC members were left angered at the outcome of the Polokwane conference where former president Thabo Mbeki lost to his successor Jacob Zuma. COPE launched its election manifesto in Hammanskraal, a place where even the most basic of services like water supply are in jeopardy. Lekota tells Aldrin Sampear that many people who left COPE are now going back to the party.

    Lekota can't come here lamenting the so-called nine wasted years and waxing lyrical about how COPE is still a choice for ordinary South Africans when he himself ran the once powerful party into the ground like it was never even there. He is an embarrassing failure for having done that and he has no legitimacy whatsoever to when talking about what he and his non-party can do for South Africa in 2024.

    I respect Lekota as a man of principle. It is unfortunate that the 2007 South African disaster that was the Polokwane conference left him on the wrong side of the ANC. I remember his statement when Mbeki was recalled - "This is not the ANC!" How right was he?

    In my opinion, he's implying that the ANC made mistakes during the Zuma era, but now that the 'lost decade' is behind them, the party is back on track. So, he's willing to return to the ANC because, in his words, there's only 'one wasted decade' to laugh about! It seems he's indirectly admitting that COPE (Congress of the People) hasn't been coping too well either!
