President Emmerson Mnangagwa has dismissed prospects of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s envoys and African National Congress (ANC) delegations meeting with opposition political parties in Zimbabwe.
Addressing an ordinary session of the ZANU PF politburo at the party’s headquarters in Harare on Wednesday, President Mnangagwa said those who come to visit the government of his party are exclusively his visitors. He said:
<blockquote>As I explained before, the truth must be told, that presidential envoys remain presidential envoys from one president to another.
Party envoys remain party envoys from one party to another. Those who dream otherwise, are allowed in a democracy to dream.</blockquote>
An ANC delegation was in Zimbabwe last week for a meeting with ZANU PF officials and the leader of the team, Ace Magashule, said they will make a follow-up meeting with opposition political parties and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe in the next two to three weeks.
Magashule said ZANU PF did not object to the ANC’s desire to meet with other political parties and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe.
Last month South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sent envoys to Harare for a meeting with Mnangagwa in a bid to ascertain what is happening in Zimbabwe following reports of widespread human rights violations.
The three envoys, former South African Minister of Safety and Security Sydney Mufamadi, former Speaker of Parliament Baleka Mbete and former South Africa’s Minister of Public Service and Administration Advocate Ngoako Ramatlhodi, refused to divulge the outcome of their meeting with Mnangagwa to reporters.
Reports indicate that Mnangagwa blocked the trio from meeting with opposition politicians, churches and civil society organisations.

ED: Opposition Parties Can Only Dream Of Meeting South African Envoys

EFF leader Julius Malema has said the ANC was irresponsible in using a government jet to come for a crunch meeting with Zanu PF. Malema further said the secretary of defence must invoice the ANC and the ANC must pay for hitching a ride in a government jet on ANC business.
According to SABC:
<blockquote>EFF leader Julius Malema says the ANC must pay for using a government jet to travel to Zimbabwe. The Red Berets say the Secretary of Defence must invoice Luthuli House. Malema supports the ANC mission to Zimbabwe though, saying it’s urgent and necessary to resolve the political and economic challenges in our neighboring country.</blockquote>

WATCH: ANC Should Pay For Using A Govt Jet To Travel To Zimbabwe - Malema

The ruling ZANU PF party is reportedly divided over South Africa and its ruling African National Congress’s (ANC) intervention in Zimbabwe in a bid to help end the country’s perennial crises.
An unnamed senior ZANU PF official told the Daily News that the sharp differences that are being played in public are confusing party members and regional allies and there is a risk that it could degenerate into a serious problem. The official is quoted as having said:
<blockquote>It’s clear that we are not speaking with one voice, and this is confusing both party members and our friends outside the country.
What is more concerning is that the differences are playing out in the open, needlessly so — with some comrades resisting the coming in of the South Africans, while others have welcomed them.
I do hope ED (Mnangagwa) gets on top of this soon, as this can quickly become a big problem.</blockquote>
While ZANU PF’s secretary for external affairs, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi on Friday poured cold water on the ANC’s mediation efforts on and vowed that the South Africans will not be allowed to meet with Zimbabwe’s opposition parties, the party’s secretary for administration, Obert Mpofu, told the Daily News on Sunday at the weekend that the ruling party was happy for the ANC to meet the opposition in future.
Respected University of Zimbabwe political science lecturer, Eldred Masunungure, told the Daily News on Sunday that the apparent divisions in ZANU PF over Pretoria’s and the ANC’s interventions are all about power struggles and the struggles to eat.
Masunungure argued that ideological differences are really not a factor but some bigwigs know that a government of national unity (GNU), or anything which brings in opposition parties will block their chances of going back into Cabinet.

Top ZANU PF Officials Bicker Over ANC 'Mediation'

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday directed the country’s Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to explain the circumstances that led to her sharing a flight to Harare with a senior delegation of ANC leadership.
The African National Congress (ANC) delegation flew to Harare on Tuesday for talks with the ruling ZANU PF party on political and economic problems in Zimbabwe.
The high-powered ANC delegation travelled on a South African airforce jet, sparking widespread criticism on the use of state resources for party business.
Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula flew to Zimbabwe to discuss regional issues following a recent summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
A statement from Ramaphosa’s office said:
<blockquote>In the interest of good governance and the prudent and ethical use of state assets, the president has directed the minister to provide a report within 48 hours that will set out the circumstances around the flight and the passenger list.</blockquote>

Ramaphosa Demands Explanation Over The Use Of Airforce Jet For ANC Harare Trip

The ruling ZANU PF party says South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) needs their help in repossessing white-owned farms and parcelling them to landless blacks.
ZANU PF acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa told reporters during a press conference at the party headquarters in Harare on Friday that the ANC is obliged to take land from minority landowners and give it to the landless black majority. He said:
<blockquote>We are the first country to do what we are doing, which is what we pointed to the ANC delegation, we have taken our land, you need us if you have to empower your people, we need each other.
They have to empower their people; in the same way, we have empowered our people. It’s a revolutionary obligation for the revolutionary parties to fulfil the gains of our liberation struggle, whether it is here, in South Africa, Namibia or Mozambique.</blockquote>
A high-powered ANC delegation led by party secretary-general, Ace Magashule was in Harare early this week to meet their ZANU PF counterparts.
The two parties reportedly held a no-holds-barred 6-hour long meeting in which they discussed economic sanctions and trade, among other things.

Chinamasa: ANC Needs ZANU PF Help To Empower South Africans

ZANU PF acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa on Friday said Zimbabwe has not received any kind of assistance from South Africa since independence in 1980.
He said in fact, Zimbabwe’s economic challenges are partly attributable to South Africa’s apartheid system whose authors are still in charge of South Africa, albeit covertly.
Addressing reporters during a press conference held at the ZANU PF Headquarters in Harare on Friday, Chinamasa said:
<blockquote>Let me put it on record, I am talking as a former Minister of Finance, Zimbabwe has not received any assistance of whatever nature from South Africa, other than us selling and importing from South Africa, if that is the assistance, well maybe, but direct assistance, Zimbabwe has not received a cent.
We have not received a cent as Zimbabwe, from the apartheid economy or from the post-apartheid economy, that I can tell you without any prevarication.
The assistance which is now being touted about, if it is true, clearly, if they had not stood by us economically in the past 20 years when sanctions were imposed on us, how can anyone seek to stand by us economically when we are almost out of the woods.</blockquote>
Chinamasa said that former South African president Thabo Mbeki did not impose himself on Zimbabwe in 2008 but was invited by the government to mediate between ZANU PF and the MDC.
Mbeki’s mediation was to help Zimbabwe defend the gains of the liberation which were being threatened by the British who were threatening military invasion of Zimbabwe, Chinamasa added.

Zimbabwe Hasn't Received A Single Rand From South Africa - Chinamasa

The ZANU PF acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa has warned South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) to against its “interventionist” behaviour and treating Zimbabwe like a South African province.
Chinamasa said South Africa is not “a big brother” to Zimbabwe and that it does not have any oversight role in the internal affairs of its northern neighbour.
Chinamasa made the remarks while speaking at a press conference held at the ZANU PF Headquarters in Harare on Friday. He said:
<blockquote>First, we agreed that Zimbabwe and South Africa are sovereign states. Zimbabwe is not a province of South Africa. In the context of international relations. South Africa is not a big brother to Zimbabwe.
It (South Africa) has no mediatory role to play in Zimbabwe or in any other country and Zimbabwe is not being a province of South Africa. It follows that there is no interventionist approach to the way that South Africa relates to us.
South Africa in the context of international relations is not a Big Brother of Zimbabwe, it has no overseer role to play on Zimbabwe and the region.</blockquote>
This comes after a high-powered ANC delegation led by party secretary-general, Ace Magashule was in Zimbabwe early this week to meet senior ZANU PF officials in Harare.
Soon after landing in South Africa, Magashule told that country’s media they expected peace and stability in Zimbabwe “province”.

ZANU PF Tells SA To Drop Its 'Big Brother' Mentality & Interventionism

The ruling ZANU PF says it will not allow members of South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) to come to Zimbabwe and meet with opposition parties as that move would be the first of its kind.
ZANU PF secretary for External Affairs, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, on Friday told journalists that there is no crisis in Zimbabwe, therefore, the ANC’s mediation is not needed. Said Mumbengegwi:
<blockquote>The question of a sister party coming to the country of another sister party to establish bilateral relations with the opposition party is unheard of (as) that can only happen in the context of mediation and mediation can only occur with the consent of the conflicting parties.
But where there is no crisis, there is no real need for mediation and therefore no purpose will be served by trying to play a mediatory role, where there is no crisis and where there is no conflict and more importantly, where there is no consent of the parties involved.</blockquote>
Mumbengegwi said they were surprised to hear a member of the ANC delegation, Lindiwe Zulu, telling reporters on landing in South Africa that there was a crisis in Zimbabwe. He added:
<blockquote>I know why you are asking, my counterpart (Lindiwe Zulu), on landing in South Africa held a media briefing where she riveted back to the original position that there was a crisis in Zimbabwe and therefore they needed to come back to Zimbabwe to resolve that crisis, but surely how can you unilaterally reverse a common position that the two delegations agreed on.
I want to assure you that it is not normal for a former liberation party to impose itself on another and therefore we only hope that the views expressed were individual views and we would be very surprised if there is the common position of the ANC.
… There is no way an ANC delegation will come to Zimbabwe to interfere in our domestic affairs.</blockquote>
However, speaking to South African media soon after returning from Harare, the head of the ANC delegation Elias “Ace” Magashule, said the ANC would make a follow-up meeting with opposition political parties and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe in the next two to three weeks.
Magashule also said ZANU PF did not object to the ANC’s desire to meet with other political parties and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe.

FULL TEXT: Communique Of ANC And ZANU PF Harare Meeting

A Movement calling themselves the July 31st movement has tabled the following 10 key areas they want the visiting ANC Delegation and President Ramaphosa’s envoy to consider in dealing with the Zimbabwean crisis. July 31st Movement  said there is indeed a crisis in Zimbabwe in their statement that stated that:
<blockquote>The July 31st Movement heartily welcomes the initiatives by the South African governing party, the African National Congress (ANC) and President Cyril Ramaphosa, to deploy envoys and delegations to help resolve the multi-faceted humanitarian, human rights, socio-economic and political crisis in Zimbabwe. It is trite that there is definitely a crisis in Zimbabwe! To fully understand the challenges and find a lasting solution, it is critical that all key stakeholders be consulted and engaged with; including the government of Zimbabwe, the main political parties, churches, civil society, trade unions, the media and grassroots citizens’ movements.</blockquote>
They then proceeded to outline the key areas for consideration and said:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>There is rampant high-level corruption in Zimbabwe, including Covid-19-related corruption which is going on without any accountability or recovery of stolen resources.</li>
<li> Zimbabwe has a major human rights problem under Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidency, including unresolved cases of abductions and torture of government critics; which has escalated without the arrest of any of the abductors. As usual, the Zimbabwe government denies these abductions and tortures; we challenge them to allow the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture to carry out an independent investigation into the growing reports of torture.</li>
<li>The Zimbabwe government has been unwilling to listen and engage with its citizens. Instead of addressing the issues raised by critics, the critics who have genuine concerns, were described as “dark forces”, “a few rogue Zimbabweans” and “terrorist opposition groupings”. Nothing was said about the constitutional rights of Zimbabweans to peacefully protest or the violations of government’s domestic and international human rights obligations.</li>
<li>Zimbabwe faces an acute humanitarian crisis and violations of the right to food, as acute food shortages persist. According to the United Nations, 7,7 million people are food insecure. Around 5,5 million of these people live in the rural areas and 2,2 million in urban areas. The Covid-19 pandemic has worsened Zimbabwe’s food crisis as government adopted nuanced containment measures. The very measures have been associated with violations of fundamental rights, including public beatings, hefty unwarranted fines and shaming of people over allegations of not wearing the masks correctly.</li>
<li>Zimbabwe’s security forces frequently use excessive force to crush protests and silence government critics. The security forces used excessive lethal force to crush nationwide protests in January 2019 which had been triggered by Mnangagwa’s sudden announcement of a fuel price increase. During the demonstrations throughout Zimbabwe, government forces fired live ammunition on civilians killing 17 people. There has been no accountability or justice enforced for these gruesome atrocities on civilians and to date no soldier has been arrested.</li>
<li>On August 1, 2018, protests over delayed election results consequential in widespread violence erupted in Harare. The Motlanthe Commission of Inquiry was appointed, found that six people died and 35 others were injured as a result of actions by State security forces. The commission’s important recommendations were ignored, including the need to hold those responsible for the abuses to account through compensation to families of those killed and compensation to those who lost property.</li>
<li>The government continues to encroach upon leaders, by threatening and conducting arrests, issuing wanted notices for all organisers of any anti-government protests and arresting protest leaders like MP Job Sikhala. Sikhala is currently in prison after being denied bail. We are aware that most of our activists are living in the bush for fear of arrests due to simply being suspected of having intended to protest. There is nowhere in the Constitution where an intention to participate in a peaceful protest against corruption is a crime.</li>
<li>Zimbabwe’s offer to pay US$3,5 billion compensation to white farmers should not sanitise the region and make South Africa, Sadc and the African Union ignore the serious on-going human rights abuses with impunity. International re-engagement should be based on good governance, anti-corruption, respect for the rule of law and human rights.</li>
<li>Zimbabwe urgently needs strong and independent justice systems, electoral systems, governance systems and anti-corruption institutions that are not controlled by the ruling Zanu PF party. Without independent institutions, it will be impossible to transform Zimbabwe and successfully resolve the crisis.</li>
<li>South Africa’s initiatives to help resolve Zimbabwe’s challenges should lead to a national dialogue process that leaves no-one behind and that openly confronts the challenges in full transparency and demands justice and accountability.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
We petition that your envoy consider and make representation to the government of Zimbabwe on the following:
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Process and victim-led broad-based national dialogue: led by a neutral, reputable former president of an African state, underwritten by Sadc and the AU, at a neutral venue.</li>
<li>A National Transitional Authority (NTA) to work on electoral reforms, demilitarisation and restoration of the independence of State institutions and processes. Including economic and electoral reforms and freeing the media, leading to free and fair elections based on agreed timelines.</li>
<li>National healing, truth telling and the release of all political prisoners.</li>
<li>Economic reforms that centre on the inclusive improvement of people’s livelihoods, including the elimination of corruption and bringing to account those fingered in corruption activities.</li>
<li>Respect of Section 59 of the Constitution, allowing freedom to protest.</li>
<li>Investigations by a regional tribunal or an international criminal court; of all cases of torture and State-sponsored violence thus bringing perpetrators to book.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>

OPINION: July 31st Movement Lists 10 Key Areas For The Consideration Of The South African Delegation

ZANU PF Secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu on Sunday said President Emmerson Mnangagwa and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and top ruling party and ANC officials were in constant communication.
Mpofu said ZANU PF and an ANC delegation led by the party’s secretary-general Ace Magashule will meet in Harare this Wednesday.
He accused the vanquished G40 faction of spreading falsehoods about the situation in the country, misleading the ANC into believing that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe.
Mpofu was speaking at the Bulawayo Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC meeting) at Davies Hall yesterday. He said:
<blockquote>President Mnangagwa and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa including myself and my ANC counterpart Ace Magashule are in constant touch, which is why we are meeting at a party-to-party level on Wednesday.
In fact, as Zanu-PF, we raised our concern about the issue of alleged gross human rights violations in Zimbabwe being discussed at a government to government level. We then agreed as Zanu-PF and ANC to first discuss it at a party-to-party level.
Presidents Mnangagwa and Ramaphosa agreed on the date, and we are now meeting as Zanu-PF Politburo and ANC NEC to discuss.
We are aware that there are G-40 elements who are actually peddling lies about the situation on Zimbabwe and they are hiding in South Africa.
While there is a dedicated onslaught on Zimbabwe and Zanu-PF in particular to disfigure the political situation in the country, we hope our ANC counterparts will be better acquainted with the genuine state of affairs in our country beyond the sinister propagandas of our detractors</blockquote>

ZANU PF Accuses G40 Of Misleading South Africa's ANC

The Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet (Presidential Communications), George Charamba said South Africa overestimates its capacity to solve conflicts on the continent when all that it can do is offer friendly solidarity.
This comes after South African President Cyril Ramaphosa revealed on Monday that his Zimbabwean counterpart, President Emmerson Mnangagwa had sought a meeting of the two countries’ ruling parties – the African National Congress (ANC) and ZANU PF to discuss how the former can help the latter deal with its crises.
However, following a meeting of the ANC’s national executive meeting on Monday, it was decided that the ANC delegation would also meet Mnangagwa’s rivals – churches, opposition political parties and civil society organisations.
In an extraordinary outburst on Twitter, Charamba claimed that South Africa was deluded in supposing that it has the capacity to deal with the challenges facing the SADC region. He said:
<blockquote>South Africa is no donor State in SADC. If anything, its long apartheid legacy makes its post-1994 subregional role quite problematic for the rest of SADC States who know the continued dominance of Afrikaner capital in SADC does not benefit the ANC or blacks in Soweto or Khayelitsha. That is the sordid truth.
South Africa cannot intervene militarily in any SADC country. That lesson was driven home during the Mandela days when it sought to do so in Lesotho. Since that disastrous escapade, South African diplomacy has been tempered and restrained to function within SADC structures, as should be!
Just what is the logic and implication of Zimbabweans of insufficient history and national consciousness asking for South African intervention in Zimbabwe outside SADC structures?</blockquote>
Charamba said only Zimbabwe has the capacity to play a stabilising role in SADC and accused South Africa of being used by Western powers against Zimbabwe.

Mnangagwa Spokesperson Taunts South Africa

Speaking after a virtual national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the ANC, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the ANC was engaged in a party to party discussion with the Zimbabwean Government to resolve the Zimbabwean human rights crisis hogging the limelight internationally, Newsday reports.
According to the AU Chair, NEC resolved that the ANC must speak to all parties and all stakeholders as well, to get a broader understanding of what is happening in Zimbabwe:
<blockquote>The ANC notes the work being done to continue silencing the guns in Mali and Libya and ensure stability in Mozambique, Sudan and Zimbabwe,
The national executive committee welcomes government efforts to engage the situation in Zimbabwe, in particular the deployment of special envoys. It emphasised the efforts of the envoys in engaging all the stakeholders in the country to assist in addressing the current situation. ANC and government processes must complement each other.
The envoys, indeed, went and met President Mnangagwa and his delegation. They had extensive and quite lengthy discussions and in the course of the discussions, it became clear that we needed to have a process that they would engage other people there and we felt that we should give consideration to that and that is something we would obviously want to see happening.
The NEC also expressed the need to meet other stakeholders in Zimbabwe and clearly important that we get as broad a view of what is happening in Zimbabwe as we possibly can. The NEC agreed also that the ANC must speak to all parties and all stakeholders as well</blockquote>
The government has constantly denied that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe to the point of attacking anyone who says anything contrary to that. Recently the Foreign Affairs Ministry said there were no human right violations in Zimbabwe and the judiciary was not captured while responding to the American Ambassador’s “attacks” on Zimbabwe.
According to the publication, the president has lined up POLAD members to meet with the South African envoys if they make a second trip to Zimbabwe.

SA Envoys To Zimbabwe To Come Back And Engage With All Stakeholders - Ramaphosa

According to SABC, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will subject himself to a probe by the governing body of his party the ANC integrity commission which might also result in him making cabinet changes.
According to the publication, rumours have been circulating of corruption and fraud and issues of contract irregularities even before the lockdown started. Ramaphosa was reportedly considering reshuffling his cabinet then and he was reportedly waiting for an opportune time to do so.
Dates of when the AU Chair will face the commission were not revealed.

WATCH: South African President Ramaphosa To Face ANC Integrity Commission

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has told members of the African National Congress (ANC) that the party was not a path to wealth. He made the remarks amid reports that some party officials were engaging in underhand dealings putting the party and government to disrepute. Below is his letter to the party.
<blockquote>LET THIS BE A TURNING POINT IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION 
I write this letter to you, my fellow ANC member, as our movement and our country face one of the greatest challenges since the advent of democracy.
I am sure that you are aware that across the nation there is a sense of anger and disillusionment at reports of corruption in our response to the coronavirus pandemic. This anger is understandable and justified. In recent weeks, we have heard stories of tenders for personal protective equipment that have been given to individuals associated with ANC leaders and of public servants flouting the law in issuing tenders.
What has caused the greatest outrage is that there are private sector companies and individuals (including civil servants) who have exploited a grave medical, social and economic crisis to wrongfully enrich themselves. This is an unforgivable betrayal for the millions of South Africans who are being negatively affected by the impact of COVID-19, experiencing hunger daily, hopelessness and joblessness.
The mandate of our 54th National Conference on corruption 
At the 54th ANC National Conference in December 2017, our organisation’s highest decision-making body, in reflecting on corruption, noted that there is an increase in corruption, factionalism, dishonesty and other negative practices that seriously threaten the goals and support of the ANC.
The Conference further said that these practices contradict and damage our mission to serve the people and use the country’s resources to achieve development and transformation. Corruption robs our people of billions that could be used for their benefit.
Conference further said that the lack of integrity perceived by the public has seriously damaged the ANC’s image, the people’s trust in the ANC, our ability to occupy the moral high ground and our position as leader of society. 
It was with this in mind that conference accordingly declared: “The ANC commits to the people of South Africa that we shall isolate and root out corrupt tendencies in the public and private sectors.”
We have made progress in dealing with corruption in the State 
Emboldened by the decisions of our conference, we embarked on a number of measures to tackle corruption in the public sector.
Since the 54th National Conference, we have taken decisive measures in government to disrupt and dismantle the state capture networks and decisively deal with the scourge of corruption.
As mandated by Conference, we have worked to restore the integrity and independence of law enforcement agencies and provide them with the means to effectively fight crime and corruption. As part of this, we have brought in new leadership at the National Prosecuting Authority, South African Revenue Service, Public Investment Corporation, the Hawks and State Security Agency. We have also replaced board and executive leadership at strategic state-owned companies.
We established an investigating directorate in the NPA to investigate and prosecute high-level corruption. We have also set up the SIU Special Tribunal to speed up civil claims against wrongdoers. 
Some state-owned companies, like Eskom and Transnet, have successfully recovered stolen funds and continue to pursue others that have allegedly siphoned off money from these companies.
We have used competition policy to tackle excessive pricing and abuse of market dominance in the private sector, particularly during the state of disaster where several firms have been found guilty of illegally inflating prices of things like face masks and sanitiscrs.
Despite all this work, corruption stands as one of the greatest challenges facing our society. The progress that our nation has made in improving the lives of our people in the last quarter century is being eroded by corruption and patronage.
The ANC is the movement that was so central to mobilising our people for the achievement of our freedom. It has also led the government that has brought peace, development and transformation to our society. It is a matter of great concern to us that corruption has so deeply infected the state, the business community and society to a point of threatening to undo the gains we have made in the last 26 years.
While the current allegations about corruption in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic have brought this issue sharply to the fore, the reality is that corruption in this country has far deeper roots. 
Apartheid was both morally and materially corrupt. Even as its laws enabled the theft of resources that rightly belonged to the people of South Africa, there were many in the administration, in state companies, in bantustans and in business who flouted even those corrupt laws to enrich themselves.
As a movement representing the aspirations of the South African people, having fought a just struggle against a brutal regime, it was our intention and our hope that the overthrow of apartheid would herald a new era of integrity, honesty and ethical conduct by all in positions of responsibility. 
We sought not merely to change the political system, but to build a new nation on a fundamentally different moral foundation. It was to be a society based on equal rights for all, on solidarity, integrity and accountability.
We need to take responsibility
As the inheritors of the legacy of Luthuli, Tambo and Mandela, we must be honest with our people and ourselves. We must acknowledge that our movement, the African National Congress, has been and remains deeply implicated in South Africa’s corruption problem. We have to be sensitive to the concerns that are being raised by our people about our role as a movement in corrupt activities.
This painful truth was recognised by delegates to the 54th National Conference. In a frank and direct diagnostic report tabled at the Conference, then Secretary General Gwede Mantashe said: “When our people protest against the unethical behaviour of our leadership, they do so not out of hatred but from feeling betrayed as they expect better and higher standards from revolutionaries.”
The 54th National Conference was a seminal moment in the history of our movement. In much the same way as it had done at the historic Morogoro Conference nearly 50 years earlier, the leadership and membership of the ANC had to confront its severe weaknesses and embark on a programme of renewal.
When we went to the general election last year, we admitted the mistakes we had made, we acknowledged how corruption and state capture had damaged our country, and we made a solemn pledge to our people to correct our ways. Despite the clear progress we have made since the election, we still have to give full effect to the promise we made.
Today, the ANC and its leaders stand accused of corruption. The ANC may not stand alone in the dock, but it does stand as Accused No. 1. This is the stark reality that we must now confront.
At its last meeting, at the beginning of this month, the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) recognised the justifiable public outrage cause by recent reports of corruption. It said these developments “cause us collectively to dip our heads in shame and to humble ourselves before the people”. The NEC recognised that it had a clear mandate from the 54th National Conference to deal decisively with corruption and to restore the integrity and values of the ANC. It said this is a responsibility it cannot defer, outsource or avoid.
Now is the time, the NEC has resolved, to make a break with the past and to act. How did we get here? For more than 26 years, the ANC has been in government at a national level and in most provinces and municipalities. This has meant that leadership positions in the ANC have been seen by some as the most direct route to, in the first instance, employment and, in the second instance, to influence in the award of tenders and the distribution of other government resources.
The people see how organisational principles and processes are corrupted for personal gain. They see how this deviant behaviour goes unchecked and allows unscrupulous and sometimes criminal elements to flourish. We cannot then blame the people if they stay away from our branches, programmes and initiatives.
Our lack of discipline and failure to deal with the issues in our movement have eroded our organisational ethos and standing.
Over many years, we have seen corruption in the state, in society and in the ANC take several forms. 
Perhaps the best-known form of corruption is the award of tenders and other contracts to certain companies based on conflictual relations such as friendships or family connections. For these people, success depends on who you know in the public service. Sometimes those awarding the tenders receive kickbacks from the successful companies.
Then there are ‘jobs for pals’, where politicians and officials disregard hiring procedures to employ family members, friends or associates. Not only is this grossly unfair to other prospective candidates, but it often means that the people employed are simply not up to the task. Public services arc not rendered, public institutions are poorly managed and public funds go to waste.
As we have seen during the COVID response, there are local ANC leaders who have used food parcels meant for the poor to buy political favours from those people in the branch or broader community who they rely on for their positions. These practices quite literally take food out of the mouths of the poor. 
On a hugely different scale, but with the same effect, is the capture of state institutions by public interests facilitated by politicians and officials at the highest level.
This ‘state capture’ is being laid bare through evidence being heard by the Zondo Commission of Inquiry. It reveals a disturbing level of grand corruption, where individuals were placed in various institutions to manipulate procurement and other processes to siphon off massive amounts of funds for a network of politicians, public servants and business people.
The effect has been devastating. Billions of rands that should have gone to improved public transport, to better infrastructure for the poor, to reliable and affordable electricity, to emerging black farmers and to the broader development of our country have been stolen to line the pockets of a criminal few.
Not only has money been stolen, but many of these institutions have been left deeply dysfunctional and some virtually destroyed. It has caused huge damage to the economy and to the capacity of the state. 
We must have the political courage and the honesty to acknowledge that ANC leaders, public representatives and members have on numerous occasions been implicated in such forms of corruption.

"ANC Is Not A Path To Wealth," President Cyril Ramaphosa Tells Corrupt Officials 

South Africa’s ruling party, The African National Congress (ANC)’s Lindiwe Zulu has said their party cannot fold arms as the human rights and the economic deterioration in Zimbabwe rages on, the Daily News reports.
Zulu was speaking during a virtual Governance Accountability Platform (GAP) discussion on “The ANC and Zimbabwe”  that was being hosted by the Brenthurst when she said SADC had to deal with the Zimbabwean crisis in a different way:
<blockquote>We also think that Sadc needs to deal with this issue in a different way, it can’t be the same all the way of getting reports and reports and nothing being done…
Sadc should have to look into this in a different way and we believe as ANC we can work through other liberation movements; in fact when I finish this meeting, I am supposed to be talking to my counterparts in Mozambique, Angola and so forth.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, I can assure you that he is very much committed to resuscitating and looking at what we did in the past; what worked and what didn’t work and how we can approach it right now</blockquote>
Zulu acknowledged that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe despite the government’s claims that there is no crisis in Zimbabwe:
<blockquote>…These are the questions I am asking in order for us to deal with the situation. Can we now move to asking ourselves the real painful questions before we get to the big issues?
We need to turn this much closer to ourselves for us to be able to deal with the situation which leads to the issue of the need of agreeing that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe because it doesn’t help us to be going under the table, disappearing and coming back; that is a fact. The fact is if there wasn’t a crisis in Zimbabwe we wouldn’t be talking about what I have just said,</blockquote>
Zulu also said the continuous engagement between the two neighbours and the success they have had over the years was being eroded and they had to continue engaging with Zanu PF to find a solution to the Zimbabwean crisis:
<blockquote>I believe that whatever success was achieved during the period we are talking about, the last 20 years are being reversed; so we need to put the people at the centre. It cannot be about personal feelings and individual interests. As the ANC we must continue to engage with Zanu PF and it is about agreeing that there is a crisis.
The culture, ethos and values of the liberation were not just freeing the country from external occupation and racism. What we need to be asking ourselves is whether we are still on the correct path of what we fought for including human rights, economic and social freedom. We therefore cannot be told that we are interfering in Zimbabwe,
We do believe that there is an opportunity for us once we agree that we need to be frank on dealing with the issues. They (political parties) must fix their internal dynamics so that when somebody else comes talking to Zanu PF and whatever is said is what it is.
In South Africa, for example, if we have a problem and people say just talk to ANC and you think you will be solving the problem, you will not be solving the problem. It doesn’t matter how I feel about the EFF, the DA, that’s not the issue, the issue is that we need to engage with everyone and create a fair playing field.</blockquote>
The Zimbabwean government has refused to acknowledge that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe and it responds to anyone who subscribes to that narrative to the point of attacking some organisations like the Catholic Bishops after they pointed out the issue in a pastoral letter to the government.

There Is No Way We Can Ignore What Is Happening In Zimbabwe - ANC

Alex Magaisa, the former Chief of Staff in the office of the late former Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai has said South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa’s efforts to address the Zimbabwean governance and human rights crisis will be hamstrung by a number of challenges.
He speaks after Ramaphosa’s Special Envoys that had been sent to Zimbabwe at the backdrop of violation of human rights have returned without meeting the opposition and other stakeholders.
Magaisa notes that:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li> The ruling ZANU PF will disregard interventions by South Africa’s governing party ANC which it considers as its little brother having won independence first between the two countries.</li>
<li>Zimbabwe has already spoken on the issues of sovereignty and non-interference when it said there is no crisis in the country which requires foreign intervention, therefore, it would be difficult to act otherwise.</li>
<li>By pointing out human rights abuses in South Africa, ZANU PF is saying Ramaphosa’s country is not qualified to condemn whatever is happening in Zimbabwe since they have similar issues.</li>
<li>ZANU PF has created a false narrative that portrays itself as the victim suffering for the land reform therefore any intervention must be to protect the party from Western aggression. He speaks after Zimbabwean authorities have said the crisis in the country is being exaggerated by enemies who want to dirt the image of the country.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
The law lecturer recommends that:
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Ramaphosa acknowledges that the Harare is led by a military regime with a civilian facade.</li>
<li>ZANU PF has transformed into a monster.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
He noted that some are recommending the establishment of a National Transitional Authority since the President Emmerson Mnangagwa-led administration is surely not going to relinquish power.

"I Was Never Yours," - Mandela's Daughter Responds To Suggestions She Must Quit ANC And Join EFF

The leader of South Africa’s ruling party, ANC Women’s League, Bathabile Olive Dlamini, said that she is heartbroken with what is happening in Zimbabwe.
The former Minister in the President’s office lamented what has become of Zimbabwe, a once-thriving economy turned into a sad liberation movement story. <a href="https://twitter.com/CdeBathaDlamini/status/1158293031600185344" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">She said</a>:
<blockquote>What is happening in Zimbabwe is just heartbreaking 💔. What was once a thriving economy is now a sad liberation movement story.  I hope we don’t walk that path with our political in-fighting and heavy dependence on government.</blockquote>
Zimbabwe’s economy has continued to deteriorate, and the poor performance has been blamed on massive corruption in state-owned institutions as revealed by the Auditor General.
The country has almost run out of everything, from cash, fuel, electricity, clean water, jobs, to medicines in hospitals.

ANC Stalwart Fearful That South Africa Will Become Like Zimbabwe

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has congratulated Cyril Ramaphosa for victory by the ANC in the just ended South African elections. Mnangagwa has said that he looks forward to working closely with Ramaphosa in the strengthening of relations between Zimbabwe and SA.

Congratulations Cde <a href="https://twitter.com/CyrilRamaphosa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CyrilRamaphosa</a> on your election victory.

A high-level delegation from South Africa’s ANC that came to Zimbabwe to assess the situation after Shutdown Zimbabwe protests and the crackdown that followed has said that it is satisfied with the government’s explanation.
Bongani Bongo, a member of the ANC’s subcommittee on international relations, who met President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the ANC was now characterising the violent protests as an element of regime change.
Said Bongo:
<blockquote>We condemn violence wherever it takes place. But the briefing we got was that the violence was informed by some elements of regime change. The people who were injured were not taken to Zimbabwean hospitals, but to centres designed by people unknown to the government of Zimbabwe or Zanu-PF.
We think that if there are such things happening, government must take control. There are elements that seek to undermine the authority and sovereignty of the government of Zimbabwe.</blockquote>
Bongo said onward the ANC try to get other liberation war parties in African to support the removal sanctions on Zimbabwe.

A high-powered delegation from South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) touched down in Harare on Monday night where it will meet with ZANU PF party officials.
The Herald reports that the delegation is being led by ANC secretary general  Ace Magashule. Magashule was briefed about the current situation in the country by the ruling party secretary for administration Orbert Mpofu at Zanu PF Headquarters on Tuesday morning.
The other members in the delegation include Tony Yengeni, Thoko Didiza, Bongani Nongo, who are all ANC central committee members and Justice Phitso, the chief of staff to the secretary general’s office. Magashule had this to say:
<blockquote>We clearly understand the situation on the ground which is affecting your country and we want to move forward as former liberation movements in addressing your situation.</blockquote>
On his part, Mpofu said the two parties drank from the same revolutionary spring, which resulted in the emancipation of the region from colonial subjugation. Said Mpofu:
<blockquote>Our long walk to freedom as stated by your founding father Cde Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela still continues. As Zimbabwe, we have achieved one milestone in this journey of emancipation by ensuring that we take ownership of the land.
This precious resource which is very dear and sentimental to all Africans should not be taken for granted.</blockquote>
The visit by the ANC leaders comes when South African political leaders have castigated the Zimbabwean government for the brutal crackdown on protestors resulting in the death of at least 12 people, most of them having succumbed to gunshot wounds.
