ANC rogues' gallery

[Debbie]

The ANC elected its new 80-member national executive committee (NEC) at December’s Polokwane conference.

The Mail & Guardian opened the ruling party’s closet and scary skeletons came tumbling out, including those of seven criminals elected to the party’s second-highest decision-making structure.

In total, 16% of the NEC are either post-apartheid convicted criminals or suspects in criminal investigations or trials. By adding those who have been disciplined or moved, and those with dark clouds of unanswered questions hanging over their heads, the figure shifts to 29%.

Then there are three members who have had run-ins with the law (or disciplinary structures), but were cleared by the courts or commissions of inquiry. Adding these to the former lot, the figure reaches 33% of the NEC.

The gravy train set to gather some steam then, business as usual.

Shocking how many fraud cases there are, hardly a sought after quality in a 'leader'.

Corrected it for you

Sadly, M&G forgot about Stalin-Mafole and the investigation that she cancelled into her own [searchforum]DoC "Job Fraud"[/searchforum] activities, and then there is her husband over at the NEPAD Broadband Initiative in charge of making decisions about NEPAD involvement in EASSy and other fabled submarine cables...
