I can't think of a comment that wouldn't get me slapped across the wrist.
Zuma vows to fight corruption
Windhoek - ANC leader Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday that the African National Congress needed to do "something radical" to curb official corruption.
"We are very concerned about the level of corruption in government and we must do something radical about it," Zuma said at a meeting with the leadership of Namibia's ruling South West African Peoples Organisation (SWAPO).
Zuma, who himself has been dogged by corruption claims that have shaken South African politics, said the ANC needed to take a tough stance.
"Otherwise people get the perception that the ANC condones corruption," he said.
"If you don't deal with corruption, it is a problem," Zuma said.
He said that politicians should be removed from government's contract tender process.
"Politicians take decisions on billions of rands, and if they are separated from the tender process one can avoid politicians influencing others to make certain decisions."
