In December 2015, I published a book with the title Tenders and the Fall of Limpopo. In the book I chronicled political events in the Limpopo province from the earth-shattering outcome of the 2007 ANC national conference held in Polokwane in which Jacob Zuma pulverised Thabo Mbeki to claim the mantle of president of the African National Congress, and the rise of Julius Malema to the presidency of the ANC Youth League and the financial collapse of the Limpopo government under Premier Cassel Mathale. Two of the most important campaigners for Zuma in the countdown to Polokwane were Cassel Mathale and Julius Malema, who in 2008 had become chairperson of the ANC in Limpopo and President of the ANC Youth League in South Africa respectively. Zuma, Mathale and Malema were in the same WhatsApp group.

Zuma was seeking re-election as president of the ANC and his two comrades Mathale and Malema wanted him replaced by Kgalema Motlanthe. The scene was set for a thrilling broedertwis [Broedertwis is an Afrikaans word meaning a fight among broeders or brothers. It means more than brother. It is brotherhood and Afrikaner solidarity].

Zuma had assembled an inter-ministerial intervention team led by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. The other ministers involved in the team were Angie Mot * +

Angie Motshekga, Aaron Motsoaledi, and Thulas Nxesi. It was Gordhan who led the charge and appointed his managers to take over the finances of the province, rendering Premier Mathale a ceremonial head of provincial government without powers. Apparently, Julius Malema, allegedly the real power behind Mathale, was not amused by the fact that Gordhan had tampered with his meal ticket. This perhaps explains why there is so much hatred between the two men today. * +
