However, as unpalatable the decision is to those officials who are affected, it was in the best interests of the ANC and its rapidly dwindling public integrity. By sticking to this decision the ANC has a shot at starting to restore its battered public image. The most damning consequence of fraud and corruption is the indisputable fact that the stolen funds could and should have been used to address poverty, unemployment and the related social miseries that are so vividly evident in townships across this country. It is in the interests of the ANC that justice be seen to be done, and that a clear message is sent out to discourage corruption.
This faction can correctly be called the constitutionalists or rule-of-law advocates, which is a progressive stance when seen in relation to the opposing faction, led by Zuma and Magashule, who are using radical rhetoric in the name of radical economic transformation to disguise an essentially acquisitive agenda. Their eyes are on the huge resources of the state, as is evident from the charges they and others face.
The months and years ahead could see SA having to confront its worst unemployment crisis, along with deficiencies in health care to deal with Covid-19, widespread and worsening poverty and hunger, especially in black townships, and — perhaps even more seriously — chronic delays in getting the Covid-19 vaccination programme off the ground.
Flush that turd Acehole.
