You lie down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas.  The SACP claims to be intellectuals.  What kind of intellectual could possibly have supported Zuma in 2007/9?  

His outstanding charges, his rape trial and much more made him clearly unfit for office.  Apologies now are a waste of breath.  Too late for a mea culpa.

If you could get could get something so simple wrong, why should we trust your analysis on more complex stuff like the economy?

The SACP MPs have had numerous opportunities to vote him out in previous votes of no confidence, but you haven't had the balls.

Like accomplices in other rotten and corrupt regimes you and the rest of the SACP have been complicit in Zuma's evil and corrupt regime.

Instead of rationalising how the SACP is steading the ship from the inside, you should have abandoned this stinking ship and actively worked for its collapse from the outset.

The same goes for all of the cabinet members to claim to be opposed to Zuma - Cyril included.
