ANC CALLS ON ZUMA TO ‘REPRIMAND’ AND ‘DISCIPLINE’ ZWANE
The ANC says Minister Mosebenzi Zwane’s recent actions have brought the country’s leadership into disrepute
JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress (ANC) has called on the president to “discipline” and “reprimand” Mineral ResourcesMinister Mosebenzi Zwane for his statement regarding an inquiry into the major banks.
On Friday, Zwane released a statement saying cabinet had agreed on a recommendation to the president that a judicial inquiry be established into why some of the country’s banks closed the Gupta family’s accounts.
Thereafter the Presidency issued a contradictory message, saying Minister Zwane’s assertions do not reflect the position or views of cabinet or government.
The national ANC says while it welcomes the presidency’s statement distancing itself from Mineral Resources Minister’s utterances, it believes President Jacob Zuma needs to do more.
Party spokesperson Zizi Kodwa says, “We think it was not enough that the presidency distanced itself, and the cabinet, from that statement. The president must discipline Zwane.”
The ANC says Zwane’s actions have brought the country’s leadership into disrepute, and show that there might be people outside government who control him.
