Stephen Grootes made two analytical arguments which was published in the Daily Maverick,
one deliberating dissemination,
Politics is going to get dirtier and rougher, and voters will have to become more and more cynical. We may soon no longer be able to believe our eyes and ears and will have to disregard anything that is not a live transmission.

and the other deliberating the Constitutional Court,
The Chief Justice has put former president Jacob Zuma on the back foot in his stand-off with the Zondo Commission. In a case this important, his action could be the masterstroke that changes the political and legal equations around the issue.

I am not going to bring my own viewpoints on Grootes's analysis into this discussion, but I have an idea that our law has becomes entangled and intertwined in politics. Spin to weave...
All in all, the ANC still attracts Zuma/Ace support, and I am sure they would want to retain or can I say balance the public perception. Votes and the public interest are always a priority no matter what your party colours.
