ANC acts fast on those who speak truth and fails to act on those who break the law

-

The pig is eating its own children.

It’s becoming clear that the polarity of the ruling party is not about the values that drive delivery.

They have steered so far from the democratic intention that the splinters of discourse are rendering the core not capable of holding.

They act fast on members who speak the truth and fail to act on those who break the law. It shows that factional politics are rife and will not end any time soon in the ANC.

I applaud Dr Makhosi Khoza for maintainin­g her moral principles.

She clearly knows the difference between right and wrong behaviour.

Her moral principles were tested and she responded like an ethical leader: “I will never change my principles. If I have to face the music, so be it. If I have to face the consequenc­es, so be it.”

Indeed, she is a paragon of political correctnes­s and leadership virtue.

This action by the ANC has been a long time coming and believe you me, she will also be fired as an MP.

The ANC has been looking for a loophole to get rid of her.

I won’t even be surprised if she is stripped of her membership in the party because of her utterances, which are a true reflection of what is going on.

Nelson Mandela once said: “If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did, do the ANC what you did to the apartheid government.”
