Ousted Joburg executive mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse has vowed not to apologise to the ANC for accusing it of being corrupt because, she says, that is a fact. Instead, an adamant Phalatse said she had instructed her lawyers to expect the ANC’s papers – but she is insistent the ruling party must account for the billions it stole from South African citizens. “I do not need a deadline of 48 hours to confirm what the entire nation already knows – the ANC is corrupt.
“No citizen should have to apologise for stating a simple fact. ANC-sanctioned and actioned corruption has stolen billions of rands meant to improve the lives of South Africans, not enrich an elite few,” Phalatse said. “We want her to retract that statement and publicly apologise to the ANC within 48 hours,” Vondo said But Phalatse stood by her statement, which she reiterated.
He said the ANC itself was “accused number one” in the process. Ramaphosa was reacting to graft allegations emanating from an investigation into Covid emergency aid funds levelled against certain ANC officials, private firms and some civil servants.
