Yengeni’s attack on Cyril shows ill discipline

No moral ground to complain about corruption,

Tony Yengeni is an ANC NEC member. And he was once convicted for corruption. I remember that day he went to jail. He received a hero’s send-off by the governing party members. Such only happen in South Africa.

That said, the other day Yengeni said things are “worse” since Cyril Ramaphosa took to power.

He mentioned “crime” and “corruption”, that they are out of control. Meaning that Ramaphosa is the worst president ever.

A few years ago, Yengeni went to jail for corruption. So, he has no moral ground to complain about the increase of corruption under the governing party, the very one that sang his praises for his corrupt act. It’s like a kettle calling a pot black.

Yengeni cannot divorce himself from the party’s failures. So, he should not shift the blame to Ramaphosa alone.

Yengeni is a close Jacob Zuma ally. Therefore, it is an open secret that he is not in support of the Ramaphosa regime.

Not that they differ ideologically. They share the same ideology. However, the fight is over state resources.

His comment shows that the ANC’s internal power struggle is spilling over to the society.

Instead of pulling together to better the lives of the masses, they are playing a blame game.

Yengeni’s comment also shows ill discipline.

I’m surprised that the ANC has not hauled him before the disciplinary committee.
