A short while ago, Gwede Mantashe, secretary general of the ruling African National Congress, accused the US of holding daily meetings in its South African Embassy with the aim of advancing regime change in South Africa. While I have only heard the first radio report, details are breaking in the press at the moment.
While I find the accusations hard to believe, given the diplomatic storm that is about to break in South Africa, I assume the South African government has evidence.

ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe called on South Africans to defend their revolution while addressing approximately 87 000 supporters at the party's march for "unity, democracy and non-racialism" in Pretoria on Friday.
Mantashe said that when people talked about the ANC, it was not about Zuma, but about the revolution.
"We must defend the revolution and defend every attack on the ANC structures," Mantashe said.
He said that an attack on President Jacob Zuma was also an attack on the ANC.
According to Mantashe, "any advice from your enemy is not advice". He urged ANC members to never take any advice from their enemies.
"We are a majority, we should be able to take decisions and enforce them," Mantashe said.
He said that the march was not a protest, but rather a positive initiative for a united society.
Mantashe also accused the US Embassy of meeting daily to advance regime change in South Africa.

- I simply ask that we keep an eye on this one.
