A group of Umkhonto weSizwe veterans organised under the ANC’s Umkhonto weSizwe national council has criticised the selective morality of the Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans’ Association , saying they saw nothing wrong with corruption under former president Jacob Zuma, but were quick to condemn President Cyril Ramaphosa.
“This glaring selective morality in itself exposes the cheap shots fired by the MKMVA to dupe our people, that they’ve had their Damascus moment. This is why we hold that their actions … seem to reinforce our observation that there are currently two ANCs within the ANC.”On Tuesday, former finance minister and MKMVA member Des van Rooyen stepped up to the podium and said that Zuma was far more severely criticised for his administration’s role in corrupt activities than his successor is being.
This corruption has caused the collapse of ANC structures, and led to the dysfunctional state of some ANC-led provincial governments and local government structures.Maphatsoe said rampant looting during the Covid-19 pandemic was a “litmus test” for Ramaphosa. This, he added, was the right time for Ramaphosa to rise to the occasion, especially after campaigning on an anti-corruption card that led to his election as ANC president in December 2017.
