Leaders involved in 'cancer' of state capture must be acted against, jailed - ANC
Johannesburg - The African National Congress has called for law enforcement agencies to probe the "cancer" of state capture by the politically connected Gupta family.
The party was concerned that if there was no visible action, the public may conclude that senior ANC leaders were implicated, spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told News24 on Wednesday.
The investigation was crucial to restoring the integrity and credibility of government, especially given the allegations about the theft of taxpayers’ money.
"They must act without fear or favour. We must deal with the tigers and flies equally. We must even deal with senior leaders, even those in the executive.
"The sooner law enforcement acts, and acts decisively, it will be better not only for ANC, but for the country, because this is a cancer."
