You mean "one of the top ministers"? There's always a chance a politician is corrupt. I've said somewhere in this thread that a politician in my opinion is guilty until proven innocent.
What sort of logic is this?
ANC logic
One of the top and likely others.
About as much as Evkom and Escom had to do with Eskom. A bit like replacing the handle and head on an axe and trying to claim they're the same.
In many cases, where there's smoke, there's likely fire. However, there are exceptions. The RB governor appears as clean as they get, so does Mboweni, Motswaledi and Creecy. Mthembu also had no known scandals and kept his family out of politics.
Your point?
Oh you're channeling the ANC? Good comrade.

The advantage of being an old toppie is that I have instant recall of some of these incidents and just need to look them up:
African National Congress (ANC) spokesperson Jackson Mthembu has been convicted of drunken driving — at more than three times over the limit — following a plea agreement with prosecutors.
He appeared briefly in Cape Town’s Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, where he was sentenced to a fine of R12 000, half of which was conditionally suspended for five years.
He also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving in the dedicated bus and taxi lane on Cape Town’s N2 freeway on the day of his arrest, for which he was fined R500. His driver’s licence will be endorsed.
Mthembu was pulled over by a member of the city’s Ghost Squad, an unmarked traffic unit, as he was driving in the bus lane, just before 8am on March 11.
However, the city claimed that South African Police Services (Saps) officials at Mowbray police station tried to prevent him being charged and threatened to arrest the Ghost Squad members.
