President’s ally calls his government dysfunctional as public anger grows over corruption in Covid-19 fight

President Cyril Ramaphosa has moved to stem growing public anger over allegations of corruption that are undermining the country’s Covid-19 efforts.

The allegations relating to tenders for the procurement of personal protective equipment has seen both his spokesperson, Khusela Diko, and Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku take a leave of absence pending the outcome of investigations by the Special Investigating Unit. Allegations have also emerged against ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule’s two sons.

“They have opened up the wounds of the state capture era, where senior figures in society seemed to get away with corruption on a grand scale,” Ramaphosa said. The increased frustration from Cosatu is politically significant as the trade union federation was the first ANC-linked formation to endorse Ramaphosa to become president of the ANC ahead of its elective conference in Nasrec in December 2017.
