I hope and pray that the revelations of egregious looting of state resources that have been made at the Zondo Commission will make us understand that no nation has ever grown wealth for all and flourished without rooting out corruption comprehensively.
Many of these acts of theft date back to more than a decade because the criminal justice system was systematically weakened and undermined. It is therefore not surprising that our GDP per capita rates have been in decline for so long. This should worry you.
A more worrying development is that this has now morphed into a culture since the ANC gained political power. It all started with the original sin of the arms deal.
To root out this practice at all levels of government will require more than the resources
of the NPA and the Hawks. We must expose such criminality without hesitation ourselves.
How is it possible that all municipalities under the ANC are wrecked by malfeasance? This is straight from the AGSA reports. And yet municipalities in the WC fair better?
President Ramaphosa will need to demonstrate nerves of steel and courage to push back dissenting factions in his party that are determined to fight for protection from prosecution. That battle is bound to intensify with the arrest of the ANC SG.
More senior members of the ANC shall be prosecuted in the weeks and months ahead. This is bound to shake the structural integrity of the party, or whatever remains of it. The ANC will Not survive this turmoil. It will have to reinvent and reposition itself.
