Many law-abiding South Africans are concerned that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela won first place in the election of a new ANC National Executive Committee with 2845 votes - more than 500 votes more than Jacob Zuma garnered in his race against national President Thabo Mbeki.
Madikizela-Mandela, former wife of Nelson Mandela, resigned from parliament and the ANC in 2003 after she was convicted of fraud. She has not been a member of the ANC since then. In 1991 she was convicted of kidnapping a child activist, Stompie Seipei, who was later found murdered. Her prison sentence was reduced on appeal to a fine.
A few other convicted criminals, including Tony Yengeni, were also elected to the National Executive Committee of the ANC. If these convicted criminals are allowed to govern after the next election, then South Africa will collapse.
