ANC is not taking South Africa seriously
AFTER having read the ANC parliamentary list of candidates for 2019, I was very disappointed to learn that the ANC is not taking us seriously.
There has been a lot of public outcry about the grannies whose job is to sleep in Parliament that they must be given a chance to go look after their grandchildren.
That, however, is not the only worry that a normal citizen has. In that list we have seen the names of MPs and former MPs whose names are tainted.
There are names of the likes of Mosebenzi Zwane, Nomvula (Braai Pack) Mokonyane, Malusi Gigaba, etc.
These are MPs who brought our Parliament into disrepute. They don’t deserve to be there after what we heard about their dodgy ways in the Zondo Commission.
On the other hand, the ANC has a secretary-general who is acting against the interests of the organisation. He is reversing the hard work that the president has done to fight against crime.
We have gone three steps forward but he is taking us five steps backward. He is part of the cancer that is killing our democratic gains.
If the ANC wants to be taken serious, it must deploy people who are committed to fighting corruption and whose names are not tainted. We can’t put our trust in some of the people on the list.
