'Party Launched for all South Africa'

Hehehehehe. A political party, not an actual party. But the headline made me smile- and this could be a good thing for South Africa. The ANC forced Thabo Mbeki out and there was a fairly spectacular split and in the end, I like this. The ANC had dominated the political scene since the fall of apartheid and a little competition cannot be a bad thing for democracy or for South Africa.

Conventional wisdom seems to indicate that the new party is in a position to give the ANC a run for its money- a good thing!

Good luck to the Congress of the People!
