State capture report proves ANC is ‘crime syndicate - Steenhuisen

The four-volume part with over 1000 pages document was handed over to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday evening. 

The report details the corruption model used by Bosasa group of companies to remain in business by keeping the ANC in power. 

It shows that former president Jacob Zuma, former minister Nomvula Mokonyane and former ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe are implicated in the Bosasa corruption graft. 

The DA leader John Steenhuisen says the report proves that the ANC is corrupt. 

“The latest report of the State Capture Commission provides the most damning confirmation yet that the ANC is now little more than an organised crime syndicate masquerading as a political party. 

"From overseeing corruption at state-owned enterprises and benefitting from corrupt tenders in the Free State and Johannesburg, to using BOSASA to manage its 2014 election “war room,” the role of the ANC in orchestrating state capture is the one common thread that binds together all three volumes of the Commission’s reports released to date,” says Steenhuisen. 

Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa should act against implicated officials. 

“For President Ramaphosa, the moment of truth has arrived. Will he hold his own political party and his numerous political allies implicated in corruption by the report to account? 

"Will he fire the Cabinet that has failed our country? 

"Will he put the interests of justice and of South Africans before or all else, or will he once again sacrifice South Africa’s needs at the altar of ANC unity? For the sake of South Africa, it is time for Ramaphosa to choose our country over the criminal syndicate masquerading as a political party."
