End in sight for 'Poison Ivy'?

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 25 December 2007

Is the end in sight for Communications Minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri alias ‘Poison Ivy’? This is a question one can ask after Matsepe-Casaburri was not included in the recent ANC national executive committee (NEC) list.

‘Matsepe-Casaburri was not included in the recent ANC national executive committee (NEC) list where she previously occupied a place as an additional member. Matsepe Casaburri was nominated as an additional member of the NEC for the round of voting that took place at the Polokwane conference this week, but did not receive enough votes to make the final list’ (Matsepe-Casaburri out, Shope-Mafole in, MyBroadband, 21 December 2007).

In other words, while ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is not really fond of politics it is clear that at least some sanity is starting to surface and that Matsepe-Casaburri’s exclusion is a good indication that ‘…her tenure as Communications Minister will not extend past her current term’ (Matsepe-Casaburri out, Shope-Mafole in, MyBroadband, 21 December 2007).
