OPINIONISTA: ANC electoral list means Zuma’s slate is back for another five years By Omry Makgoale
The current ANC list of candidates for the 2019 general election is the worst since the dawn of democracy in South Africa – it is a pipe dream to think of renewal with such a candidate list.
An overwhelming vote for the ANC would deliver the worst slate in Parliament, entrenching what is already the worst slate in Parliament, entrenching deployees of the Guptas, those in the payroll of Bosasa, those who looted VBS bank in Limpopo, and those who facilitated the paralysing and destruction of the SA Revenue Service, SARS.
This is the ANC secretary-general, the same post as Stalin in the Soviet Union, whose son Tshepiso was employed as a consultant by the Guptas from November 2010, when Daddy was premier of Free State province. The candidate list is a demonstration of what Luthuli House means by “renewal”. Nearly all the candidates on the list are associated with scandals across the state and government institutions.
