FROM THE ARCHIVES | Fraser should have been showed the door as soon as Zuma was out of power. Instead, Ramaphosa shifted him to correctional services, writes justicemalala.
. Why? Because Fraser, who oversaw every detail of the destruction of the state security agency that has been detailed at the Zondo commission, was in charge of the prisons service – and he has delivered for his former boss before.
Indeed, many would declare that we are in full-on Animal Farm mode and that there is no equality across the entire society. The Zumas, connected as they are, can get away with anything. Zuma has showed us that there is no law for him; the rest of us are the only ones subject to any kind of censure. He got away with Nkandla, he got away with state capture, and he continues to get away with evading charges of corruption, ably assisted by his allies in the prisons service, in the ANC, in government and elsewhere.President Cyril Ramaphosa’s belief that it is his job to keep the ANC united is at the heart of the problem.
He went on: “I am the president of the ANC, I am not a dictator of the ANC. The ANC has a national executive committee [NEC] that is given the responsibility of leading the ANC in between conferences.The ANC’s ethos and culture has always been collective leadership, and we are not going to depart from that because some people want to see a dictatorial leader who will tell people this is what you are going to do or else …We don’t work like that in the ANC.
