It was naive of Jacob Zuma and the ANC national executive to think the axing of President Thabo Mbeki would not create a fall-out that would affect the economy and the entire country, political commentators said on Tuesday.

Reacting to the exodus of ministers on Tuesday, they criticised the ANC's national executive committee for putting its internal power struggles before the welfare of the nation, and said ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe would have to act swiftly to restore stability and confidence after being sworn in as president tomorrow.
