Several other senior figures in the ANC have been implicated in PPE deals and other forms of corruption related to state capture.
“In this regard, the lekgotla reaffirmed the position of the ANC and the government that state employees should not do business with the government. At the same time, further consultation will take place among alliance partners and in legislatures across the political spectrum to find the most appropriate approach to the issue of other politically exposed individuals doing business with the state, ”said Ramaphosa .
He said the lekgotla had also resolved to prioritize the unity and renewal of the ANC, including the deployment of competent and capable leaders in key positions in state institutions.
“To promote the process of compaction and social mobilization, we need a united ANC, focused on the task at hand and with an active presence at the community level and in all sectors of society.
“Strengthening and renewing the ANC therefore remains an absolute priority and the precondition for the deployment of capable cadres as public and state representatives,” he said.
The ANC NEC lekgotla also discussed and adopted a post-Covid-19 economic recovery plan, which would focus on:
- Strengthening of energy security;
- Localization through industrialization;

- Tourism support;
- Green economy interventions;
- Public employment programs;
- Gender equality and economic inclusion of women and youth; Y

“By addressing these eight key areas of economic focus, the ANC supports a phased approach to our economic recovery. This first phase focused on saving lives and included a huge healthcare response, ”Ramaphosa said.
