Deputy president David Mabuza says the government was caught napping regarding Covid-19 corruption, saying that some of its procurement systems left much to be desired.

Mabuza, who is the leader of government's moral regeneration movement, said the country's moral and societal values were highly tested during the pandemic.

“Equally, government will continue to enhance systems of internal control to ensure openness, transparency and accountability to protect the integrity of our procurement system and where breaches have been committed, those who are involved must be held accountable,” he said. Mabuza said the moral regeneration movement remained a critical platform to galvanise society to advance the promotion of positive values and ethical conduct.

The governance in general leaves much to be desired, the ANC has been a majority for over 26 years so procurement isn't new, so is this a confirmation that this has been on going?

Napping on purpose and use that new as an excuse for all the stealing. Those fuckers who stole the money and allow the corruption need to be charged and put in jail.

They have been “napping” for decades! “napping” = euphemism for complicit!

Nonsense tge cANCer pkanned it to the tee just did not bet on being caught

The conman himself

Can this man just go back to sleep. Irrelevant.....did the Russians or Cubans cure him....just saying

You see we don't like that . Your doctor said questions make you sick and we kept away with our outstandingly dumb questions . We didn't want to disturb your nap . Now you catch someone napping

COVID-19 corruption is only but a tip of grand scale thieving that has been on going ever since! Kudaaaaalo yatyiwa imali hayi ngoku!

The entire procurement strategy is idiotic and fertile ground for corruption. Why are we using the tender system to procure goods when government could be buying directly from suppliers and cutting out the middle man. It makes sense to tender for services, not buying goods.

You were caught napping? Did you really say that? After all this time, you still didnt think anyone might try to steal any of the Covid money? Please! This must be the most ridiculous statement I have heard, since last time anyone from MYANC GovernmentZA opened their mouth!

Kingpins never nap 😤

Bunch of nappers

The President gave an assurance to the nation that the money would not be stolen. The CR govt must just resign to save us time for reconstruction

Its the culture of stealin DP its so deep

Imagine a whole government taking a nap🙄

He only learns this now. After the ANC cadres have been stealing for 20+ years. Inept leadership as always is the case.

Napping for the past 25 years , expect SA to believe this ? Really .

And ANC thieves rolling in money

No, Mabuza talks shite, gov was not caught napping but caught stealing. VoetsekANC

What nonsence!! ANC govt rubbed their dirty hands together with glee knowing by locking down SA citizens, they can loot & steal unbounded. Not 1 govt official is innocent. Even CyrilRamaphosa & DlaminiZuma wealth increased during lockdown while citizens lost jobs. Disgraceful!

There is nothing wrong with the CSD

The boogie man telling you to not be afraid of the dark. What a nightmare. Damn these politicians

DDMabuza but this GovernmentZA has been napping since 1994.

Napping for 26 years

Rubbish. Failure to adhere to procedure and abdication of responsibility for supervision is the reason liftthelockdown corruption ANC

caught off guard than napping

Caught napping? Talk about grand theft. That pre-planned, they new what they were doing when they took money out of treasury and open the procurement floodgates open.

Anc napping for the last 26 years

More a case of turning a blind eye?

Nope DDMabuza there was no napping, the hyenas were very wide awake from day 0 and remain rampantly so to this day

Mabuza has turned to be puppet of these whites appointed by Ramaphosa at ESKOM,they promised him loadshedding will be finished in three days, failed,Soweto is their targets whether you pay or not electricity off, whites do as they wished

For the pple who were the advocates of clean governance who are where they are because of their anti corruption slogans to be caught napping OK! 🚶‍♂️

That’s funny. They’ve been sleeping 😴 for over a decade and dreaming all time

All were brain dead

What I don't understand about ANC , they are taking as if corruption/LOOTING is only to do with COVID 19, while They started way back 1994& they won't stop, it's in their blood

Aowa DP DD the anc has been stealing, corruption predates COVID19.

Caught napping or stealing? 😐

Useless negligence second father of the nation...

You are governed Mr Mabuza say “I was caught napping”

No Mr.Deputy President you were not caught napping....You just do not have proper systems nor do you seek them....Corruption is not a 2020 phenomena...!

You been napping since 1994, time to wake up

Ducking the fact he's part of the problem

Caught stealing more like, not like this hasn't been going on for the last 20 years, just that they got caught during the Covid rush.

Thats the new dawn that we were promised.

O nyaka divote wena Maan o be o le kae ge le utswa txhelete ya rena.
