The Congress of the People is in serious trouble as internal divisions and in-fighting spell their early end.

Yesterday, party Deputy President Willie Madisha announced that it had suspended President Mosiuoa Lekota. A few hours later, Lekota and national chairperson Teboho Loate announced that they had suspended Madisha, spokesperson Dennis Bloem and secretary for elections Mzwandile Hleko.

The party has become the laughingstock of South African politics as the Twitterverse responded to the announcements.

Theo Venter spoke to Radio Islam International this morning and said he has no idea who is right and gave a retrospective view of the issues the party has been facing since its inception.
