=Jackie Selebi matter=

The Young Communist League is perplexed by President Thabo Mbeki's inconsistency as it relates to matters affecting the National Commissioner of the South African Police Services [SAPS], Jackie Selebi.

In 2005, the then Deputy President of the Republic and currently the President of the African National Congress [ANC], Cde Jacob Zuma, without any charges brought forward for a period of more than five years he was released from his duties by President Mbeki using his prerogative.

The question that needs to be asked by the public is why Jackie Selebi is being given an extended leave of absence, and is not treated the same as Zuma by being relieved of his duties as the National Police Commissioner.

The only substantive conclusions and reasons we can make on why the President of the Republic is treating Selebi differently from the ANC President Jacob Zuma, is that the former [Selebi] is being done a friendly favour by the President.
