Mcebisi Jonas not a man of integrity – ANCYL
17 March 2016
Johannesburg – The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has cast a shadow of doubt over Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas' public admission this week that he was offered the job of finance minister by the Gupta family.
ANCYL President Collen Maine told News24 that, under normal circumstances, Jonas would have told seniors in the party, including President Jacob Zuma, what had happened.
"A man of integrity will go to his boss and report, and [not] talk to him through the media. For us this amounts to putting the organisation into disrepute," Maine said.
Maine also questioned the timing of Jonas's announcement, suggesting that the minister should have come clean immediately after the incident was said to have taken place.
