President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on ANC members implicated in wrongdoing by the Zondo commission into state capture to voluntarily appear before the party’s integrity commission.
He also sought to distance the party from those implicated in corruption, saying the organisation itself was never involved in corrupt activities.
“The ANC therefore distances itself from those within our ranks who have been involved in corruption or complicit, and the organisation acknowledges state capture did take place under our watch.“It involved members of the movement and found fertile ground in the provisions, weaknesses and tendencies that had developed in the organisation,” Ramaphosa said.
He said the task team’s “deep analysis” of chief justice and inquiry chair Raymond Zondo’s reports will make it easier for ANC members who are in government to respond to the report, guided by the understanding and the posture adopted by the ANC.
