Johannesburg - The uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association has slammed growing corruption allegations linked to Covid-19 relief funds and called on the government and the ANC to act tougher on those implicated.
MKMVA president Kebby Maphatsoe said the association had expected the ANC NEC under President Cyril Ramaphosa to act tough and to be intolerant to corruption but that “they continue to fail to take decisive action”. “Specifically, also the way in which selective outrage against only certain manifestations of corruption is used as an odious tool in factional battles,” Maphatsoe said.
“The president campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket and for unity in the ANC. To successfully lynch the boil of corruption that is now poisoning the whole body of our liberation movement, factionalism and selective morality that destroys unity must be rooted out,” he said.
