VBS shows deep ANC rot

How much is being spent discovering, investigating, auditing and prosecuting all the perpetrators of corruption in this country? How many billions of the gazillion embezzled have been recovered? How many political crooks are rotting in jail?

The ANC government has shown that its only function is self-enrichment and self-preservation, and SA is not its prime concern.

The VBS heist report has implicated Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma’s campaign to be president of the ANC. She will no doubt vehemently deny that she knew anything.

Jessie Duarte is so imbibed in her own words of lies and ANC-coloured dream world that she honestly believes that it was okay for the government to fund the Guptas‘ media flops. Sadly, she believes that taxpayers’ money is the same as ANC money.

She snidely indicates that the Zondo commission is generating mistruths and implies that its results should not be believed.

Sadly, now the spotlight has to shine on President Cyril Ramaphosa. He was deputy president under Jacob Zuma, and had to have known and been aware of every single corrupt, illegal and sinister action that members of his party were perpetrating under his watch.

If he didn’t know then he must resign immediately, because he should have known. The country knew, the press knew; it is impossible that he and all the other top dogs in government and the ANC did not know.

We may not be a particularly well-educated country, but don’t ever make the mistake to think we are all stupid.

The country has no confidence in this ANC government. It has stolen from us. It has run our once prosperous and winning nation into the mire. It is time for a change.
