Newsletter| Corruption thrived under the ANC’s watch, former Tshwane mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa has admitted. But he says the party is self-correcting and the fact that it instituted the state capture inquiry is proof of that
Ramokgopa was speaking in Auckland Park on Tuesday night at “Battle Ground Gauteng”, a political debate organised by City Press and Rapport.
“It was an admission on the part of the ANC that we had wronged our people – the poor in particular – through our conduct and the manner in which the state had conducted itself that in fact they had stolen from the people which was an antithesis of what the ANC is about. It was a misarticulation of the kind of future that we wanted to construct so the best thing to do was that we started to self correct,” said Ramokgopa.
EFF Gauteng chairperson Mandisa Mashego emphasises that her party will ensure that land expropriation without compensation happens. Picture: Palesa Dlamini/City Press “Cyril Ramaphosa himself is guilty of illicit financial misconduct and theft through his Shanduka shares at Lonmin. If you want evidence of that go and check one of the professors at Wits who was one of the people studying what had happened with Lonmin and what led to the 34 miners being shot down and killed in Marikana.”
