ANC only got 1 written complaint on state capture - Mantashe
31 May 2016
Johannesburg - Out of eight people who approached ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe's office with alleged reports of corporate capture of the state, only one handed in a written submission.
"It was unfortunate that only one person could make a written submission on the matter. The allegations made were serious. They cannot be treated lightly and many warrant a comprehensive investigation," Mantashe told reporters in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
If the other seven feared their submissions to the party itself would put them in danger, they could approach any relevant state institution and ask it to deal with the matter.
Mantashe said because of the low number of submissions, it would be a "fruitless exercise" for the ANC to investigate.
