The ANC-controlled government of South Africa, which has been in care-taker mode since the resignation of T. Mbeki's administration, is reported to have called a snap election for March 25th of next year. The idea is to make things happen too fast for the new (ANC-splinter) COPE party to get organized. But just to be sure, the ANC Youth Wing is already harassing COPE meetings with violence.
The only problems seem to be the rest of the ANC isn't on board yet, it may not be a legal call, and if it is legal the opposition COPE and DA parties say they are ready.
Here's hoping this is an own-goal by the ANC high command.
