Zuma brings shame to SA: ANC veterans
3 November 2016
Pretoria - President Jacob Zuma is at the centre of questionable behaviour that is dogging South Africa and ruining the name of the African National Congress, party veteran Cheryl Carolus said on Thursday.
''Our president has brought shame on to our organisation and to our country for his own personal indiscretions and blatant actions of corruption and collusion with forces who do not care about our people and our country,'' Carolus said on behalf of other veterans and top government officials, including Frank Chikane.
''I am pained about recent events; I am pained by the state of the movement. It's painful,'' said Chikane.
The briefing in Pretoria followed the release of former public protector Thuli Madonsela's state capture report on Wednesday, after an attempt by Zuma to keep it under wraps by saying he had not had a chance to answer questions Madonsela may have had.
