Hardly a month after Babalo Madikizela who was challenging Oscar Mabuyane for chairmanship made claims that delegates were bribed in the ANC Eastern Cape Provincial Conference, similar accusations have now been leveled against senior politicians in Free State Provincial Government at the ANCYL Mangaung Conference which started on Friday.
While many may believe the delay in ANCYL Mangaung Conference was due to credentials sources who spoke on condition of anonymity say as early as Monday prominent politicians promised delegates money as their votes will be key in the provincial conference.
The conference started with fists and chairs replicating the festival of chairs in the Eastern Cape in 2017. Few injuries have been reported.
A few months ago Dr. Zamani Saul, the Northern Cape Premier and chairman of the ANC said no sane man can use his salary to buy booze for his henchmen but the money that was solicited through corrupt activities.
WATCH:
What Madikezela said was those who have power and access to the government purse influence tenders and deployment and they use that power to manipulate branches including cash from businessmen and women who get tenders from the government.
WATCH:
This is not something new in the ANC as sealed CR17 papers allegedly show those who benefited and donated to his campaign and one can ask if there is free lunch?
Most of these politicians from the presidency, deputy, ministers, deputy ministers, DDGs, Hods, chiefs directors, and supply chain directors have properties and farms that are paid up.
By being in those positions, they stand to benefit beyond what you and I can imagine.
That’s why in most cases they would even hire hitmen to kill anyone with a dissenting view.
In East Rand there was chaos during the regional conference which prompted David Makhura, Gauteng Premier to tell delegates this is not the ANC he knows, while in Sedibeng some delegates threatened with court action after they were barred.
With North West Provincial conference postponed again, this should worry Luthili House that money has taken te centre stage.
