Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has finally dusted off his moral compass. For years it had been collecting dust in the bowels of Luthuli House.
At a recent rally in Mthatha Ramaphosa accused ANC leaders of greed "fighting not over politics but over resources and money for our personal benefit".
At long last Ramaphosa has taken the first step in speaking his mind. Until recently his blind loyalty to the ANC collective was absolute. His silence following multiple instances of corruption and looting of state resources by ANC comrades was deafening. The fact that he did not speak out leads conclusively to symptoms of moral deficit disorder wrapped in a reservoir of political expediency and opportunism.
Ramaphosa is a poor choice to lead the country. But, then again the other contenders for the presidency are even more morally questionable. They, including Ramaphosa, lack the vision, or the qualities of leadership to inspire the country to unite as a nation.
