EFF and ActionSA urge investigations into Free State officials as the ANC faces backlash for mishandling corruption allegations and appointments.
Opposition parties criticise the ANC ’s appointment of Jabu Mbalula as acting Premier, citing concerns over loyalty-driven decision-making. Picture: XThe Economic Freedom Fighters and ActionSA have strongly criticised the African National Congress for placing Free State Premier MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae on special leave amid corruption allegations, calling it a deliberate ploy to protect her from accountability.
The EFF expressed dismay over the"special leave", describing it as a loophole that allows Letsoha-Mathae to retain her position while facing corruption charges. Mbalula was sworn-in as acting Premier on Thursday, November 14, and will be in this position until December 15. ActionSA echoed these concerns, with its Free State provincial chairperson, Patricia Kopane, accusing the ANC of selective justice.
ActionSA has called for the immediate suspension of all implicated officials to allow for impartial investigations by the Hawks, the National Prosecuting Authority , and the Public Protector.
