Pressure increased on President Cyril Ramaphosa to drop rogue ministers when he puts together a new cabinet.
Johannesburg - As Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng receives the lists of members for the National Assembly from the Electoral Commission of SA on Wednesday, pressure increased on President Cyril Ramaphosa to drop rogue ministers when he puts together a new cabinet.
In a document defined as the first in a series that seeks to address “counter revolution, state capture and corruption in South Africa”, the stalwarts who include ANC Veterans League president Snuki Zikala, Wally Serote, Thami Ntenteni and Aziz Pahad said the ANC was still on the cusp of being taken over by rouge characters.
Several ANC stalwarts openly rejected the party’s list of candidates for the National Assembly due to the inclusion of leaders who were implicated in state capture allegations. “Secondly, the enemies of the revolution would also ensure that they form part of the cohort of deployees in state institutions,” the veterans said.
“So far, the ANC has not correctly and seriously engaged either of these two vitally important matters,” the veterans said. ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe had not responded by the time of going to print.
