17 April 2019
Former mayor of Tshwane and ANC senior provincial leader in Gauteng Kgosientso Ramokgopa painted a picture of a South Africa free of corruption in the governing ANC during an elections debate hosted by City Press on Tuesday night.
Ramokgopa, whose administration in Tshwane has been blamed for a R2bn deficit by the DA, was adamant that under the ANC, corrupt individuals, including leaders, would be brought to book.
Speaking at the debate, titled Battleground Gauteng - the Chiefs and Kingmakers , Ramokgopa was one of the panellists of party leaders who were quizzed by the audience on their manifestos.
He said corruption was a manifestation of a failure of leadership, adding that there was a correlation between corruption and failed leadership.
