OPINION: 'Implicated in corruption? Behaved unethically? Lied under oath? Please withdraw from the ANC’s list' ANCList Elections2019

Last week, candidate lists for Parliament and provincial legislatures were presented to the Independent Electoral Commission by political parties. Some of these lists raise serious questions about the suitability of some of the candidates. As members of the ANC, we do not deem it our duty to comment on lists presented by other political parties.

More recently, it has become apparent to these same South Africans, who always admired and voted for the ANC, that some of the leading members of their beloved organisation have been implicated in acts of corruption of one sort or another. Inappropriate appointments have been made to senior positions in government and state institutions, often resulting in questionable decisions being made to the detriment of good governance.

Recently, the public was treated to testimony, given under oath, of unbelievable acts of corruption perpetrated by a company previously known as Bosasa but which has since changed its name to African Global Operations. This company had secured government contracts and maintained them, it was reported, by bribing government officials and a slew of other decision-makers in the public service, the criminal justice system, Parliament as well as Cabinet ministers and senior ANC politicians.

The poor administration of many local, provincial and national government institutions has over time resulted in shoddy and unacceptable levels of service to the populace. Not comfortable with joining other parties, significant numbers of our traditional supporters simply did not bother to cast their votes during the 2016 local government elections referred to above.
