Goss v. Lopez
- Lopez, along with a bunch of other students, were suspended from their high school after it was alleged they had damaged school property. They were not given a hearing, or an opportunity to present their case.
- Ohio law at the time said that school can suspend students without providing a hearing.
- However, Ohio law also said that all students had a right to an education.
- Lopez et. al. sued, claiming that the suspension had damaged their reputations and therefore denied them a liberty interest without procedural due process, which was an unconstitutional violation of the 14th Amendment.
- In addition, Lopez et. al. argued that they had been denied a property interest because they were entitled to an education under Ohio law.
- The Trial Court found for Lopez. The school appealed.
- The US Supreme Court affirmed.
- The US Supreme Court found that Ohio had made education a right, and that created a property interest.
- Property interests cannot be denied without due process.
- The Court noted that property interests are not normally created by the Constitution, but they are created by an independent source such as State Statutes or rules entitle a citizen to certain benefits.
- There is no constitutional right to an education (See San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (523 U.S. 833 (1973)).
- The Court found that a suspension could damage a student's reputation and effect later educational opportunities. That would damage a student's liberty interest to pursue further education.
- Conversely, compare to Paul v. Davis (424 U.S. 693 (1976)), which found that there was no liberty interest in damage to someone's reputation.
- The Court found that due process can be quite minimal and still meet constitutional requirements. In this case, all that was required was an opportunity for the student to present his side of the story to school officials, and for the school to provide oral and written notice of the reasons for the suspension.
- Compare to Goldberg v. Kelly (397 U.S. 254 (1970)), which found that due process required an elaborate formal hearing.
- It appears that the amount of due process due is dependent on the size of the interests involved.
- See Matthews v. Eldridge (424 U.S. 319 (1976)), which provides factors for the courts to consider when determining how much due process is due.
- The US Supreme Court found that Ohio had made education a right, and that created a property interest.

Maven Capital Partners
Download the brochure here
Investor Partners are regularly introduced to a range of interesting and attractive private equity and property opportunities, sourced by Maven's nation-wide investment team. They are able to construct a bespoke portfolio based on their specific sector or industry preferences, investing only in opportunities which suit their investment aims and risk profile.
The process is fully managed by Maven for all Investor Partners. A detailed investment proposal is issued for consideration, seeking an indicative commitment, only at the point that a transaction is nearing completion and has been subject to both rigorous internal assessment by the Maven team and an extensive independent due diligence process.
Each Investor Partner then has a limited period to consider the opportunity and decide whether or not to participate. While Investor Partners will typically make an investment decision based on the proposal, Maven's executives are available to answer additional questions or provide further information as required.
Maven handles everything else associated with the transaction, fully managing the investment process through to execution, preparing the legal documentation on investors' behalf, and managing the investment to the point of exit. Investor Partners are also provided with six-monthly reports on their portfolio.
Risk Warning
An investment directly into an unquoted or private company carries a higher degree of risk than many other forms of investment and may be difficult to realise. The value of shares, and the level of income derived from them, may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the money originally invested. It may also be difficult to obtain reliable information about the value of securities or the risks to which the company is exposed. Co-investment is intended for Professional Clients only. For further risk information click here.
Maven has a proven track record of successfully investing in private businesses and property opportunities, and enjoys a UK-wide presence that ensures our executives are introduced to a large number of interesting and varied investment opportunities each year.
Every new investment we undertake is subject to in-depth analysis by our executive team, and is subject to a rigorous approval process. We also make extensive use of third-party due diligence providers, covering all key areas of risk including financial, management, market, commercial, insurance and pensions.
Where Maven decides to proceed with a new investment, each Investor Partner is able to make their own decision over whether to participate, and all aspects of the completion process and aftercare are managed by the investment and support teams at Maven.
Maven remains actively involved throughout the holding period of each investment, providing continuity and support to the management team, whilst working to achieve a successful exit, typically to a trade or secondary private equity acquirer.
Achieving superior investor returns from investment in small private businesses and commercial property is about much more than simply providing finance, and requires an investment manager with experience, long-standing sector expertise, and access to high quality investment opportunities. Maven has a track record of providing Investor Partners with access to attractive transactions, often sourced off-market, and achieving strong returns.
Our team has considerable experience of investing in the UK SME sector, and come from a broad range of professional and commercial backgrounds, with the skills necessary to manage a diverse portfolio of private company investments. We recognise that the best results are achieved where there is a common vision for driving the business forward, and forge a strong working relationship with each investee company in order to support its growth aspirations, drive business improvements and deliver strong investor value.
Our highly experienced property team works with property developers across the UK to offer a range of interesting transactions, usually in the hotel, student accommodation and office refurbishment sectors, for investors who are looking for well-researched deals which can generate attractive returns with a development gain element.

The right roof coating is essential if your goal is to protect the house from Australia's harsh climate, but it does more than just protect the house from rain, heat, and the occasional bush fire. It can also reinforce the roof's structure and prevents mould and mildew from forming, which may eventually become a health hazard in the home.

Right Time to
Reapply Roof
90 Beringarra Avenue
Malaga, Western Australia 6090
08 9249 5955
The right roof coating is essential if your goal is to protect the house from Australia's
harsh climate, but it does more than just protect the house from rain, heat, and the
occasional bush fire. It can also reinforce the roof's structure and prevents mould and
mildew from forming, which may eventually become a health hazard in the home.
Determining the right time to apply or reapply a coating on the roof isn't as difficult as it
sounds. There are tell-tale signs that the roof seriously needs a recoating, and
homeowners should take note of these warnings or risk more costly restoration and
repair work.
When Leaks Become More than Just a Nuisance
Leaks are the most common roofing problem homeowners face, but it's more than just a
nuisance that you can ignore or a put a pail underneath to address it. Even when the leak
isn't as large, the damage it can do the roof, and the ceiling to an extent, is extensive. The
water can seriously damage wood and even concrete, and cause the structure of the roof
itself to weaken over time.
A collapsing roof isn't such a rare occurrence, and it could be caused by something as
simple as a small leak that became large over time.
Apart from potentially ruining the structure of the roof and walls, leaks also make
conditions for mould and mildew more favourable. While mould itself doesn't damage the
structure of the roof, it can spread throughout the entire home when it spores. Black mould,
in particular, apart from being toxic and extremely unsightly to look at, is even more
difficult and rather costly to remove than regular mould.
Once the leak has been taken care of, reapplying a roof coating will prevent it from
happening in the near future. Many roof coatings on the market are premium grade and
have very long service lifespans, which means more protection and less need for
Tired and Worn Roofs
Perhaps the simplest answer to 'when should a roof coating be reapplied' is when the roof
itself looks extremely tired and worn out. While most roofing types, such as tiled and metal
roofs have a very long lifespan, their appearance fades over time due to regular wear and
tear, as well as environmental damage.
Reapplying the right coating can immediately restore the appearance of the roof and has the
additional bonus of making it more resilient to damage and wearing down. The coating
itself is a good both insulate the house and keep it cool. It all depends on the colour of
course. Darker coatings are better during colder seasons as it absorbs heat better while
lighter coloured coatings are ideal to reduce heat during the summer months.
There isn't really a 'right' time to reapply the coating of the roof as it ultimately depends on
the condition of the structure itself. Still, knowing the warning signs that the roof is in dire
need of recoating can help prevent more costly repair work in the future.

Festivals and Celebrations
Wow ! It is truly unbelievable that i have not added a post to my blog in almost a year, though i have been working endlessly through out the year. I suppose one reason is because i have been doing lot of contract bound work for companies like Disney. Hence, sharing work becomes really difficult because of copy rights. In any case below i am sharing some production images for one promo i had done for the Disney channel in India. Apart from that this is the festive season in India not just religious festivals but animation festivals as well. Anifest celebrated it's glorious 15 years this year. Every year Anifest does the noble job of creating a platform for sharing and celebrating animation content from around the world in India. Another unmissable animation festival in India is Chitrakatha conducted by the pioneer in animation education, The National Institute of Design. This festival celebrates animation in it's true spirit at the famous main campus of NID, Ahmedabad. Well, so lets get into the celebration and festival spirit !! :D

criminal offence !!
Ignoring my blog for this long is truly a criminal offence to me. I hope not to do so ever again. There is so much to share, it is becoming difficult to decide where to begin from. Well, above is the image of a design i had worked on a year back. It was a lot of joy portraying Singapore in three frames. Below are, doodles of some of my colleagues, who are a lot of fun to work with. And yes the illustration of the adorable Ganesha, made today to celebrate Ganesh Chaturti, birth of the god of luck and remover of obstacles.
Among the films i saw since my last post, the ones that have left an impression on me are Frozen, Croods, How to train your dragon 2, Captain America, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,The Edge of tomorrow and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The cinematic and aesthetic beauty of the Disney movies is unquestionable, and Frozen was the recent example of it. Despite that, Frozen is a remarkable story told in the most unimaginable magical way. To add that the soundtracks are breathtaking, especially, "do you want to build a snowman" and "let it go". Hope you saw it and appreciated it as much as i did. If not, do get your hands on it. Croods, was another hilarious creation by Dreamworks. The manner of portrayal of the life of the stone-age homo sapiens, so as to today's people can relate to it renders me speechless. The characters, the imaginative scenic beauty has inspired me. I adored How to train your Dragon so much, that just the fact that i will get to see more of the world of Hiccup and Toothless, had me exhilarated. Though it being a sequel, which have reputation of not living up-to expectations, i did enjoy it. I will be writing about the other movies soon with some fan art.

Dorset's Crime Commissioner Welcomes Mental Health Pact
8:09am 26th February 2014
Dorset's Police and Crime Commissioner have welcomed the arrival of the UK's first Mental Health treaty.
It sets out a series of national principals that brings together a multi-agency response to help people in crisis.
PCC Martyn Underhill will be a leading partner in delivering an action plan to achieve the Concordat's goals.
He says more needs to be done to help people with mental disabilities;
"The Concordat has come out telling, locally, mental health practitioners and agencies to get better at what they do, and in particular better at not taking people to Police stations. In Dorset last year we had 157 people who were in mental health crisis taken into Police cells that is totally unacceptable."
"I always use the analogy if you have a broken leg you don't take them to a Police station you take them to a hospital. At the moment if someone has a broken mind some of them are being taken to a Police station and that is disrespectful, unfair and a failure of the system."

Because they have Vrabel, they have a lot of options with how they address the LB situation. So I really don't think Curry should be the pick.
At #3, they'll be able to trade down within the Top 10. Someone is going to want to move up to get one of the guys that will be there at #3 (Curry, Stafford, OT, Orakpo, Raji). The Chiefs are in good shape. They'll pick up extra picks, not move down much, and probably be in a position to move down again if they want to.
If they do use the #3 or a Top 10, I've grown more and more on the idea of taking an OT. I think it's the biggest impact they can make on the team in the first round. Moving Albert to LG, and forming a dominant left side with either Monroe or Oher would do wonders for the Chiefs' offense.
If they have Vrabel play Mike, they have 7 rounds to find good rush LB's and ends (draft is loaded with them), and there are a lot of fun options at WR and TE (and RT if need-be). But this draft is weak at G, which might be a big need for the Chiefs.
I'd like to see them get an Eric Wood with the extra high pick they'd get in a trade-down. If they traded with the Browns or Bengals, they'd be in position for Oher.

This change would have nothing to do with people being Orc or not. You can use Blood Fury with the trinket and your regular swifty abilities (Avatar, Dark Soul, etc) right now. Also, removing ~5k str/agi/sp from swifty macros is still a huge deal, even if some small percentage of people do go Orc. Blood Fury is not nearly as strong as trinket.
I know, but just like human was the FOTM in cata it would give people even more of a reason to go orc than their already is. If you remember back in BC there were few damage percentage increase abilities in the game, the only major one I can think of is death wish, in my opinion those abilities need to be removed or made less potent because the amount of damage capable with them is making this game less about skill and more revolved around ability stacking. But that's just how I feel.

Couples urged to shop around as mortgage protection premiums fall
COUPLES can save up to €126 a year on their mortgage protection premiums by seeking out a better deal, according to the National Consumer Agency.
Mortgage protection and life insurance premium rates have fallen dramatically recently due to fierce competition among insurers and the fact that people are living longer, so insurers are having to pay out less often.
Now a new survey by the state agency has found massive variations in premium rates for life insurance and mortgage protection.
Premiums range from €53 a month to €76 a month for a couple who smoke and want to take out mortgage protection insurance on a €380,000 home loan.
Over a year, the difference works out at €274. But over the 35-year term of the mortgage the difference climbs to more than €9,500.
Non-smokers can save €126 a year by seeking out the best rates in the market.
The couple in this example have joint mortgage protection cover, which means the policy will pay out the sum insured if one of them dies.
Huge savings can also be made on life insurance.
A couple who smoke could be over-paying by €335 a year by failing to get the lowest premium in the market, the National Consumer Agency research found.
The survey examined the cost of term-life and mortgage protection cover against a range of different consumer profiles.
Maria Hurley of the consumer agency said the research also found that smokers who kick the habit for at least a year can save up to €590 annually for life insurance by getting the best deal.
Chief executive of the Irish Brokers' Association Ciaran Phelan said households typically phone a couple of insurance companies every few years, identify the best deal at that time and just assume that the same provider will continue to offer the best price. But this is wrong.
"Prices change dramatically all the time, so it pays to let a broker shop the market and get the best cover at the most affordable price," he said.
Most consumers need mortgage protection and term assurance to replace their income in the event of their untimely death. A 40-year-old couple spending €1,000 per annum can typically afford €200,000 to €300,000 in cover.
With increasing longevity resulting in falling insurance prices over the last few years, a saving of at least €200 could be achieved, he said.

Method of travel to work
In Old Noarlunga 6 people rode their bike or walked to work in 2011.

There are a number of reasons why people use different modes of transport to get to work including the availability of affordable and effective public transport options, the number of motor vehicles available within a household, and the distance travelled to work.

Fazer: I'm cool with Tulisa's fans
N-Dubz star Fazer has revealed he doesn't mind the attention his girlfriend Tulisa Contostavlos gets.
Since making her debut on The X Factor as a judge and mentor, 23-year-old Tulisa - who is thought to have been dating her bandmate for several years - has gained popularity among male viewers.
Fazer, whose real name is Richard Rawson, told Heat magazine he isn't the jealous type. "I love it that guys fancy her and want to get with her," he said.
"It's far better than them saying, 'Fazer, what the f*** are you doing with her?!' It's good."
And the couple have reportedly discussed the issue of children.
"We'll definitely have kids one day. I've always wanted children for as long as I can remember. You can just imagine them running around your feet like Mini-Mes," the 24-year-old said.
"Right now, we're focusing on everything career-wise - I've got my music and she's got The X Factor," he added.
"It's great because [bandmate] Dappy has [his kids] Milo and Gino, so we can just play with them, then give them back when they get a bit annoying. It's definitely something I want one day, though."

In my endeavour to improve the Vlog experience for you I've been working on Adobe editing software instead of cheap & cheerful Youtube. Now sure that is exciting, fun & gets my creative juices flowing…However, my stupid & very basic laptop does not like it & has refused to play nicely Hmmph
You know what it is? It's me saying to myself "Yeah I know I'm not ready to do a fancy edit but fuck it I'm doing this!" As usual I learn as I go & make do with the equipment I have. Otherwise what's the alternative? I figure if I wait to have all the right lights & the high end laptop It'll be another year before I up my game! And quite frankly, I just don't have the time to waste. The alternative is to just do it now, I mean in that year I could have perfected my technique & the time won't have been wasted right? Besides I'm not scared of a little criticism, why should I worry about something so trivial? It's not really important in the big scheme of things, you lot are always beyond kind & supportive & actually that's all I care about in the end. We'll get there together right?….eventually.
So let's crack on, here goes another Vlog. After I finally exported the finished video I realised I should have edited it much more tightly but because I'm already way behind publishing I decided to go with this one. The next edit will be snappier, I promise. Hope you like it & apologies for taking so long to get it out I aim to make 2017 my year of Vlogging.
Here is close up detail of the braid hair bun from my earlier shoot.

Director Venkat Prabhu has diclosed that the Mankatha audio album is all set to get rolling. Venkat announced, "Mankatha master CD is ready guys!!" The director has constantly been flooded with messages from eager fans inquiring about the audio release for Mankatha over the past few weeks. Now the director is in a relaxed mood and expressed his delight saying, "The master will be reaching Sony tomorrow!! Whatta relief !!!"
Earlier Yuvan Shankar Raja disclosed the reason for the delay in release ,stating that that one of the songs had to be scratched and replaced by a fresh tune that sounded even"better than the first one" according to the Mankatha composer.Director Venkat further stated that "The master CD has a total of 8 tracks guys!! Promo song not included now!!".So that makes it a total of 9 songs. Fans will be looking forward to the official audio launch date to be announced soon.
So very soon it's "Machi open da bottle" time!! for Mankatha fans.

This show is like a hole: it's really empty. It's absent of a reason for me to care about the show. It's missing a reason for why there is so much shooting and violence. I usually am fine with that, but now I am starting to see that fans will grow tired of that after awhile.
Look at NCIS. It has the head-slapping, it has characters with distinct personalities...what is distinct about these characters? Can you even define any of these characters in a word? What adjective would you use to describe Kenzi?
These may not seem like real problems for Los Angeles now, but they are going to be in the long run. You're going to need people to have G. Callen avatars on tv.com, and right now does anyone?
NCIS: Los Angeles can be a great series, but it needs to be reworked in the summer. Hopefully it is.

Hall: Wild players, Yeo have chance to grow together
Six straight losses to end December 2013 could be an interesting footnote in Minnesota Wild history.
Minnesota had lost four in a row on the road and come back home and lost the first two games of a four-game homestand. The rumblings about head coach Mike Yeo's job status grew louder. The discontent from the fan base could be read on Twitter. Reports even said Yeo was one loss away from being fired.
Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher didn't flinch, and the organization is better for it.
"The funny thing, at the exact point of the year when you thought we'd fall apart, we actually became a team," Fletcher said last week in formally announcing Yeo's three-year contract extension. "There's a lot of work that went into that and Mike and his staff deserve a lot of credit."
Yeo proceeded to guide Minnesota out of its losing streak by winning seven of the next nine games, even while dealing with injuries to Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu, Jared Spurgeon and Josh Harding.
The defensive structure Yeo has instilled since becoming the Wild's head coach in 2011 took root and helped Minnesota overcome unpredictability at goaltender with one of the best defenses in the league.
The Wild made the playoffs for the second straight season and players credited Yeo for keeping the team prepared for every moment in the postseason against the upstart Colorado Avalanche and defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks.
"There were times where the wheels could have come off and he kept it together," defenseman Ryan Suter said after Game 6 against Chicago. "He was always level-headed. I think he did a great job and I think we're going to have a bright future with him."
Fletcher watched closely as Yeo navigated the rest of 2014 following the troubled 2013 finish and rewarded Yeo with a contract extension. The continuity and potential creates the framework for sustained success.
The league's youngest coach at 40 years old, Yeo has a chance to continue to grow alongside one of the youngest teams in the league. Only the New York Rangers and Colorado Avalanche had a younger average age among all skaters for playoff teams.
The situation is just as Fletcher hoped when he hired Yeo in 2011.
Fletcher knew the NHL had changed and understood development of young players was paramount to building the organization for sustained success.
Wild Coverage
The Wild had to win too, but the idea was that the young Yeo was also the right coach to develop a growing crop of highly-regarded prospects following a run to the Calder Cup finals with Houston in 2011.
Yeo has grown every step of the way as a first-time NHL head coach — a 2011 start with the league's best record and eventual fade down the stretch, the first playoff appearance in five years for Minnesota in 2013 and the second round for only the second time in team history this past season.
"The team is improved," Yeo said last week. "I believe that I've improved as a coach. Like Chuck said, there's an awful lot of work to be done. We have to keep improving. I have to keep improving. The goal, the idea behind those two things, was to give yourself a chance to be successful every year. Like we said, we know that there's still a lot of work to be done, but we definitely believe we're on the right track."
Continuing along the track together — coach and players — should prove to be the right move for the organization; all possible because Fletcher didn't overreact to a six-game losing streak in December.
"There's certainly a team feeling around here, a feeling that we're all working together, that we're all pulling in the same direction and there's no question that's huge," Yeo said.

Photos : Fayose drives a digger as he begins rehabilitation of federal roads in Ekiti
Ekiti governor chides Federal government for abandoning federal roads in the state
says his government will not shy away from its responsibilities to the people
Kicks off construction by driving Digger
Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has flagged off construction work on all federal roads in the state.
Speaking in Aramoko-Ekiti, headquarters of Ekiti West Local Government Area of the state on Thursday, November 24th, Fayose stated that the move was in line with the government's resolve not to shy away from its responsibilities to the people. He also added that it was necessary to embark on the project as the federal government had failed to do so.
Construction will kick-off at Efon-Aramoko-Igede-Ado Road.
In response to the governor's actions, the Alara of Aramoko-Ekiti, Oba Olu Adeyemi had this to say;
I am deeply touched by the decision of the governor to start the rehabilitation of this road. The bad portions are menace to us here. That the governor has the view of rehabilitating a federal road, bearing in mind the problems associated with getting reimbursed for it, is very commendable. The governor has left an indelible mark in our hearts,
The governor also promised that asphalt will be laid on the entire Aramoko stretch of the road.

24 hours in Victoria Falls
Read time: a bit over 1 minute
Victoria Falls is one of THE sights of Africa. They are phenomenal in every sense. In fact, all senses get a taste of phenomenal. The falls are loud, wet, huge and goose-pimply. They're also one of the best places to try your hand at adventure sports. If you've ever wanted to dabble in a bit of bungee jumping or white water rafting, there's no better place. Be prepared to get wet, be amazed, spot wildlife, get vertigo and take amazing photos. And don't forget your wide-angle lens.
8am Make an early start to the falls, because it's going to be a big day.
10am Put on your raincoat and take a walk along the gorge path stopping at each of the viewing points. One spot we recommend being careful around is Danger Point. It's unfenced. Enough said.
1pm Time to get your adventure on. Choose from whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, canoeing, flying fox, a horse-back safari or abseiling. You know, the usual.
4pm Need to dry off? Take a helicopter flight over the falls for insane views. And don't forget your camera.
5pm Get your heart rate back down to normal with a sundowner. That's an African term for watching the sunset over beautiful landscapes with an alcoholic beverage. Our personal favourite is Zambezi beer. If it's named after the view, it's got to be good.
7pm If it's full moon, the park will be open after dark. Head back for an amazing look at the falls under moonlight.

Rift between Zanu-PF and SA deepens
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's outburst against South Africa's mediation facilitator Lindiwe Zulu was the clearest indication ever that "underlying tensions" between President Jacob Zuma's administration and the Mugabe government that have been bubbling under the surface are now out in the open.
In addition, the anger expressed by Mugabe and his government indicated that the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has become tougher on Zimbabwe.
Mugabe called Zulu "some stupid, idiotic woman" and a "little street woman" during Zanu-PF's election manifesto launch last Friday.
His criticism came two days after Zimbabwe's government spokesperson told the M&G Online that Zulu is an "outsider" and a "mere back staffer" who makes executive pronouncements in Zuma's place.
This was a reaction to Zulu's statements that the regional bloc wanted Zimbabwe's election date to be postponed by two weeks from July 31.
South Africa believes that attacks on Zulu are directed at Zuma because he mandated his international relations adviser to facilitate the mediation process.
Megaphone diplomacy
But some South Africans officials are also concerned about Zulu's "megaphone diplomacy".
An international relations department source told the Mail & Guardian that the "underlying tensions" are created by South Africa's decision to harden its stance towards Zimbabwe's government, in order to push for democratic reforms.
"It's not a secret that Mugabe has not been happy with South Africa's mediation in recent years. Since [former president] Thabo Mbeki left office and Zuma came in, the relationship has not been as cosy as before," said the source, who did not wish to be named.
"Mugabe and his people have not been able to do what they used to do with Mbeki. Zuma has put his foot down because they [Zimbabwe] wanted to circumvent the process."
Mbeki was accused of taking a soft approach towards Mugabe and Zanu-PF, thereby disadvantaging the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
What also frustrates Zimbabwe is that SADC leaders appear united in forcing democratic reforms in Zimbabwe because their countries' economies are negatively affected by the influx of Zimbabwean migrants.
"Zuma successfully lobbied SADC to support the [reform] efforts," said the international relations source. "Even presidents that Mugabe would have relied on agree with the approach. His attitude is no longer hardened towards South Africa only, but also [towards] SADC."
Party's attack
Mugabe has threatened to pull Zimbabwe out of the regional bloc "if SADC decides to do stupid things".
A senior Zanu-PF leader with diplomatic experience justified the party's attack on Zulu.
"She cannot claim that it's SADC's position to delay elections by a month. SADC asked us to approach the court for a two-week extension. We did so, and the court decided otherwise," he said, adding that Zanu-PF had lost confidence in Zulu's role in the mediation process.
South Africa's international relations and co-operation department spokesperson, Clayson Monyela, said the government was not aware of any tensions with Zimbabwe.
"Our relations with Zimbabwe are historical; they remain strong, solid and friendly," he said. "Our objective remains to assist Zimbabweans to implement their own agreements and take the country forward."
Although South Africa defended Zulu and said she was merely articulating a SADC position, there's an unofficial acknowledgement from both government officials and the ANC that part of the problem is that Zulu speaks her mind forcefully and sometimes does so without consulting anyone.
"She sometimes becomes too forward on issues. There's a diplomatic way of sounding firm, but being diplomatic with that," said the international relations department source.
"Some of the things she said were not necessarily off message, but it's the formulation that she gets wrong."
Subcommittee member
A member of the ANC's international relations subcommittee said: "She [Zulu] is taking advantage of the weakness in the presidency and is becoming the face of the mediation process."
Zulu said this week she still held the same position as she did last week when she refused to comment. "I know that the M&G sent questions to Mac Maharaj and he forwarded them to me but I will not respond," she said. "The interest here is not about me; it's about getting the situation in Zimbabwe sorted."
The ANC international relations subcommittee member said there are also hard party politics behind the tensions. "Zuma has always had a feeling that Mugabe favoured Mbeki towards [the party's 52nd national conference in] Polokwane [in 2007]."
Though the two former liberation movements have tried to paper over the cracks in the past few years, the ANC's international relations sub-committee member said the party's factional politics often led to dis-agreements with Zanu-PF.
"Towards [the ANC's elective]Mangaung [congress] they [ANC leaders] accused Zanu-PF of aiding the ANC Youth League to overthrow the party's leadership."
The league, whose expelled president Julius Malema enjoys strong ties with Zanu-PF's leadership, played a major role in the group that unsuccessfully campaigned for Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to replace Zuma as president at Mangaung.
But there won't be a complete breakdown in relations between the two neighbours. A South African government official said even if Zimbabwe disliked South Africa's stance on democratic reforms "Mugabe knows they need us for survival, in terms of the regional voice and to keep afloat economically".
But Zanu-PF no longer wants South Africa to pressure it to implement any of the remaining aspects of the global political agreement it signed with the MDC in 2008.
The Zanu-PF leader said South Africa's role as a mediator expired with the end of the unity government on June 30. "The Zuma facilitation was to lead Zim to elections," he said. "A new Constitution has been agreed on and elections are here." – Additional reporting by Jason Moyo
