'We'll triumph over Cope'
After his first 100 days in office, President Kgalema Motlanthe speaks to Ebrahim Harvey about the Congress of the People, the sacking of Vusi Pikoli and Zimbabwe.
The fact that I begin this interview with the current tragic conflict in the Middle East -- the all-out and terribly destructive war Israel has waged on the Palestinians in Gaza -- is a measure of its importance right now in the world. In the light of the growing worldwide condemnation -- including in our country -- of Israel's brutal, ferocious and heavily destructive attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, I want to begin by asking you if it is not high time that South Africa takes tough and immediate action against them, such as various sanctions, breaking diplomatic ties and isolating them.
