Thousands at ANC’s centennial celebrations
From Caesar Zvayi in BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa
THE colourful ANC centenary celebrations were held here with Vice President Joice Mujuru joining 46 other heads of state at the festivities at Magaung Stadium.
In his address, President Jacob Zuma chronicled the history of ANC from its launch at a humble hall here to the force it is today, with over a million members.
President Zuma outlined how South Africa’s freedom would not have been possible without the support of its neighbours.
“We thank our brothers in Zimbabwe . . . the veterans who fought in Zimbabwe during the 1967 Wankie-Sipolilo campaign. We also pay tribute to Malawi, Angola and Mozambique whose people died during the South African army’s cross-border raids in search of MK bases,” he said.
Tens of thousands of South Africans, reports AFP, joined ANC’s huge centennial bash in Bloemfontein yesterday, dancing and singing for the party that freed them from apartheid and gave them homes.
Janet Leshilo (68) slept outside to join a rally of ANC supporters in a wash of party colours and images of heroes like Nelson Mandela.
Kunonga declares support for Zanu-PF
From Samuel Kadungure in MUTARE
HEAD of the independent Anglican Province of Zimbabwe Archbishop Nobert Kunonga has openly declared his support for President Mugabe and Zanu-PF in the next elections.
Dr Kunonga urged Zimbabweans to reject MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai and his party, saying they are an embodiment of evil.
He was addressing about 200 clergymen at an annual retreat at St Augustine’s Mission last week.
Dr Kunonga hailed Zanu-PF’s determination to come up with solutions to challenges besieging the country through formulation of appropriate policies.
MDC-T’s policies, he said, remained parochial and completely divorced from national aspirations.
“We are not choosing man, but principles and values they embody. Who is fighting against homosexuality, who is giving people land, we should stand guided by life and death,” he said.
“Those politicians and churchmen who are calling for the imposition of sanctions, propagating for the inclusion of gay rights in the new constitution, and are refusing to see life, are an embodiment of evil. During elections we will reject them. We will reject death.”
