JOHANNESBURG – The uMkhonto weSizwe National Council of the African National Congress (ANC) has criticized ANC leaders who defy the party’s instructions to step aside while facing criminal charges.
The council has singled out Bongani Bongo, Zandile Gumede and Andile Lungisa.
Bongo and Gumede are in court facing corruption charges, while Lungisa has been convicted of assault.
The ANC’s national executive committee last week ordered members facing corruption charges to stand aside with immediate effect.
Gregory Nthatise of the MK National Council said defiant leaders were damaging the party’s image.
“We cannot be blamed for holding the view that the ANC exists, that it is committed to renewing the African National Congress and rebuilding our country, and yet there is another ANC within the ANC that supports corruption and has perpetuated the ANC as a broken and alienated organization of the people. “
