VBS scandal: ANC must be decisive like Nene - Mbalula
ANC elections head Fikile Mbalula believes that the party should be decisive when it comes to dealing with the VBS Mutual Bank scandal - like it was with former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene.
Mbalula was addressing the media at a briefing, where the party announced its upcoming tour of the country's provinces, where it was expected to engage with people and members on what it should prioritise in its election manifesto ahead of the 2019 polls.
He took a moment to respond to revelations in the damning forensic report on the collapsed VBS Mutual Bank, compiled by advocate Terry Motau and Werksmans Attorneys, in which several ANC members were named.
The report, titled "The Great Bank Heist", was released on Wednesday and it revealed allegations of looting through the bank.
It listed former executives of VBS and its largest shareholder Vele Investments as alleged perpetrators. Several ANC politicians as well as EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu's younger brother, Brian Shivambu, were named.
