The official opposition Democratic Alliance has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to immediately account in Parliament for the ANC’s coronavirus (Covid_19) 'feeding frenzy'.
CAPE TOWN - The official opposition Democratic Alliance has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to immediately account in Parliament for the ANC’s coronavirus "feeding frenzy".
This would not only be the right thing to do, but also because he promised the nation four months ago that any such corruption would be met with strong action. On March 23, Ramaphosa went on national television and solemnly vowed to South Africans that profiteering from the Covid-19 pandemic would not be tolerated, and that anyone who did so would face serious consequences.
Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Khusela Diko’s husband Thandisizwe Diko landed a R125 million contract to supply personal protective equipment ; "If this is what we know of the involvement of the families of high-profile ANC members, one can only imagine what the picture looks like further down the line in ANC-run provinces and municipalities where tender corruption has become the very reason to run for public office. They now desperately try to cleanse the party’s image through Twitter hashtags, but these are stains that cannot be scrubbed clean," Steenhuisen said.
