Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests has cleared four ANC MPs — Thulas Nxesi, Cedric Frolick, Mosebenzi Zwane and Winnie Ngwenya — after they were implicated in the State Capture report.
Fifteen months after the release of the fifth and final instalment of Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s State Capture Inquiry report, which implicated several high-ranking politicians, Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests has cleared four senior ANC MPs.
“The member clarified that his name appeared as a reference for the payment but that the payment was not made to him. Rather, the payment was the result of a fund-raising initiative he undertook to raise money to assist two families in financial need,” said the parliamentary committee in a statement released on Tuesday.
Regarding these allegations, the committee said that Frolick’s alleged actions predated its adoption of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members’ Interests, which could not be applied retrospectively. At the State Capture Inquiry, the former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi and former correctional services committee chairperson Dennis Bloem testified about Ngwenya. She allegedly took money from Bosasa to act on its behalf in the correctional services committee.
Or would you rather have the ANC, ActionSA, BOSA, FF+ or EFF running the country?In Tshwane and Joburg, the DA had to contend with directed and deliberate sabotage by the ANC / EFF axis of venal crooks and reactionaries who feared only that their crookedness and incompetence would be exposed by DA rule.
