Shaka Sisulu responds to "covert black-ops" allegations
I am deeply troubled by recent reports that I spearheaded a "covert black-ops" unit allegedly commissioned by the ANC to discredit the opposition in the 2016 municipal elections.
These reports are inherently false, exaggerated and no doubt intended to discredit, in part my reputation, and most significantly the name of the African National Congress (ANC).
It is common knowledge that I have volunteered my time and my abilities for and on behalf of the ANC. I have done so in every election campaign for the past 18 years.
I am not and shall never be apologetic for any contribution I make to the ANC.
As volunteers for the ANC, our role is to promote the values and virtues of the movement to potential voters; not to discredit the opposition. As volunteers we are not paid, all of us hundreds of thousands of volunteers participate for the love of the ANC. This is something that the ANC has appreciated and taken great pride in.
