Activists from rival factions of South Africa’s Africa National Congress (ANC) faced off in central Johannesburg on Monday, highlighting deep divisions in the ruling party as pressure grows on President Jacob Zuma.
The ANC, which led the struggle to end apartheid, has been rocked by poor recent local election results largely blamed on Zuma’s leadership and the country’s mounting economic woes.
Police surrounded the ANC’s Luthuli House headquarters in Johannesburg after some party activists vowed to occupy the building to protest against how the party and government is being run.
A small group of about 20 anti-Zuma protesters gathered nearby, while other ANC members loyal to the president pledged to defend the building.
“We lost (control of some cities in the local elections) because of corruption of Jacob Zuma,” Mary Louw, one frustrated ANC member, said.
