Sanco in W Cape throws weight behind Shikota

By Martha Qumba and Murray Williams

The Western Cape branch of the powerful SA National Civic Organisation (Sanco) has thrown its weight behind the breakaway "Shikota" political party, named last week as the Congress of the People.

But the Cape Argus has learned that certain Sanco members are actively campaigning in the Monwabisi informal settlement in Khayelitsha in an attempt to persuade people not to join Mbhazima Shilowa and Mosiuoa Lekota's new party.

They allegedly offered groceries as an incentive not to jump ship.
