Punish ANC at the polls for supporting Gupta state capture
1 June 2016
The ANC’s decision not to pursue its probe into the blatant state capture by the Gupta family – with Jacob Zuma’s tacit consent – reveals yet again that the ANC cannot be trusted to fight corruption.
Just like the SOE’s that the Gupta’s now control, the ANC too has been captured – it is a party that puts the interests of a connected few ahead of the best interests of millions of South Africans.
The truth is the people of our beautiful country cannot sit back and wait for the ANC to change so that the situation will improve. The answer from the ANC at their press conference yesterday to this assumption was clear: this will never happen.
Indeed, Jacob Zuma, Gwede Mantashe and Cyril Ramaphosa are happy with the status quo of rampant corruption, high unemployment and deteriorating service delivery. They put the ANC and Jacob Zuma’s friends first and the people of South Africa last so they also can benefit.
