ANC leaders fear exposing the rot, says Nzimande
Johannesburg - SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande has accused politicians within the ANC-led alliance of having prioritised their stomachs at the expense of the welfare of the movement and the country. On Wednesday Nzimande said leaders feared to speak up against the rot and state capture. Nzimande was among leaders who addressed the 26th commemoration of the assassination of anti-apartheid activist Chris Hani in Ekurhuleni in Wednesday.
Nzimande hailed Hani as a principled revolutionary who never shied away from sharply raising his voice against wrongs within the movement, sometimes at personal cost. “Today we are scared of raising wrongs because we are thinking about our stomachs. The difficulties we are in today, it is because many of us can’t stand up and point out wrong things that are happening right now in our own movement,” Nzimande said.
Nzimande said while the SACP would campaign for an ANC victory in the upcoming elections, the governing party would soon be dislodged from power if the alliance did not renew itself and disassociate with wrongdoing.
