‘Put crooks in jail’

The SACP central committee, said Nzimande, “expressed its full support for all those who are standing up to state capture – sometimes at personal risk”.

He said those who have resigned from their jobs after being implicated in state capture in an attempt to avoid internal disciplinary action must not be allowed to escape the full scrutiny of the criminal justice system. “The crooks must go to jail,” he said.

“The SACP pledges to be a steadfast ally in the struggle against parasitic looting,” said Nzimande.
