SACP says Zuma should tackle corruption allegations at Zondo commission | IOL News

Johannesburg - Former president Jacob Zuma should tell the state capture commission of inquiry about corruption during his tenure and stop deflecting, SA Communist Party deputy secretary general Solly Mapaila said on Thursday.

Testifying before Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo this week, Zuma said former cabinet minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi was an apartheid-era spy and that Siphiwe Nyanda, a former SANDF general and president of the uMkhonto weSizwe National Council, corroborated with a spy called Ralph who had tried to assassinate the former president."On those allegations of ANC leaders being spies, we felt that it was reckless and irresponsible utterances from him.

"Disappointingly, some of the people in state-owned enterprises who are very educated and feel that fighting corruption is a fight against blackness. There is no black professional who should be proud of corruption. We expect them to express their capacity in service of humanity and the country...therefor this narrative that Gordhan is anti-black in order to perpetuate corruption in state-owned enterprises is completely unacceptable.
