ANALYSIS: JZ shows why ANC is bound to fail Magashule test | PieterDuToit
The party failed dismally in curtailing the corruption, mismanagement and criminality when confronted with evidence when Zuma was the party’s leader. Then, as now with Magashule, it turned a blind eye to investigations that revealed malfeasance, opting to attack the media as instruments of regime change, Western imperialism and white monopoly capital while defending a leader of questionable integrity and ethics.
The ANC’s inability to decisively deal with corruption under Zuma not only caused extensive damage to the country but was directly responsible for the ANC’s recent loss of support. And if the party cannot act in its own interest against tainted leaders, it cannot be expected to act in the national interest.
Ramaphosa and the constitutionalists inside the ANC are locked in battle with Zuma’s rent-seeking faction. Magashule is their flag bearer. And if, after the revelations in Myburgh’s book, he remains untouched it will confirm that Ramaphosa is not winning the battle and that the corruptors are in the ascendancy.Myburgh’s book is an excellent investigation into Magashule’s world, but much of what he wrote has been in the public domain for years.
State capture, corruption, poor governance, economic mismanagement – Zuma survived it all. And on Sunday he posted pictures of himself floating belly up in a swimming pool.“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” - Muhammad Ali
