When polls started coming in ahead of the local government elections in 2016, the ANC realised corruption had become a problem, President Cyril Ramaphosa told the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture this past week. Then the results came in. The party had lost control of both the economic heartland metro of Johannesburg and the political capital metro of Pretoria, among other power-political nodes.
He could not dish the dirt because, in the ANC, his back is to the wall. A fightback against reform led by Secretary-General Ace Magashule is in top gear. Ramaphosa repeatedly said the commission had detractors among ANC leaders. The parlous condition of state-owned enterprises was the result of a massive system failure in how their boards were appointed, he admitted.
Ramaphosa said the ANC was unlikely to change how it recommends cadres for state positions. Asked by Zondo whether the electoral system needed to change, Ramaphosa noted: “We are the odd one out on our continent, where most people vote for a president.” Ramaphosa said the ANC “would not knowingly accept donations from companies involved in criminal activities”. Yet evidence by former Bosasa COO Angelo Aggrizzi in 2019 revealed that the ties between Bosasa and the ANC were so close that, in some periods, they were indistinguishable.
ferialhaffajee 'Ultimately, Ramaphosa is a long-game politician. He is a reformist but he’s also non-confrontational – that much was clear from this week’s testimony' aka he's a bit of a wuss, living in total luxury while poor ppl in SA catch the fall out of his inaction?
Unfortunately, his “long game” is for the survival of the ANC.
