ANC statement on the anti-corruption marches

30 September 2015

The African National Congress welcomes the initiative by a collective of South African organizations including civil society formations to march against corruption. We welcome this initiative as the ANC has always argued and located the issue of corruption as a societal issue that requires societal rejection and action.

We are hopeful that these organizations will continue working with our government to subdue the scourge of corruption wherever it manifests itself. We add our voice that society must not tolerate corruption and must continue with this initiative by exposing it wherever it rears its ugly head.

We are hopeful that society's action using anti-corruption measures introduced by our government will assist to stamp out this scourge. Let us act in unison to make South Africa intolerant of corruption. The ANC and government at all remains committed to work with broad societal formations to promote zero tolerance for corruption.
