A few weeks ago, a friend of mine from Upington called me to discuss an issue that has stayed on my mind. He usually calls to canvas cute, naughty things, as is the culture between us, but this call was different.
Coincidentally, May announced her decision to step down after we had been engaged in national elections, with the ANC recording aof 57.5%. In essence, we dropped by 4.5% from our 2014 result of 62%. What this means is that our party is experiencing a downward spiral since the 2004 elections. There are many reasons for this decline, but without any doubt a lack of ethical leadership and entrenched corrupt networks during the fifth administration are among the main culprits.
However, what we witnessed on Monday at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture will harm us into the foreseeable future. The conspiratorial testimony of former president, Jacob Zuma, is a strong indication that the criminal network wants to collapse the ANC, after failing to collapse the country.
This is a well-choreographed script; in an organisation where many comrades and leaders were killed through collaborative work between apartheid security branch and askaris, being a spy is an ultimate sin. This is why talk about askaris in the ANC usually takes place mutedly. The Gupta Criminal Network knows this too well. So, by calling Ngoako Ramatlhodi a spy, the network deliberately wants to deter would-be witnesses from testifying against State Capture.
