RULING PARTY MANIFESTO - LICENSE TO LOOT

After the ANC government assumed power it routinely compared and  contrasted its socio-economic policies with those of the apartheid regime.  In simple terms a contrast between perceived good and evil.  But, the dichotomy between good and evil was of no interest to the power hungry, be they of the apartheid regime, or the ANC government.

The  apartheid regime's proclivity to engage in thievery and looting of state resources relentlessly continued to thrive among the power hungry of the ANC's ruling elite, whose rapacious appetite for ill-gotten gains continues to this day.

Now, not surprisingly another bombshell of alleged malfeasance - allegations of fraud leveled against Hlaudi Motsoeneng and Sports  Minister Fikile Mbalula's wife Nozuko.  They are accused in a High Court proceeding of receiving millions of Rand from the Free State government for houses for the poor which were never built.

The allegations against Motsoeneng and Mbalula's wife reinforces the belief that the ANC  has lost the right to claim the moral high ground when compared and contrasted with the record of corruption and looting of its predecessor.  The reason is obvious:  by comparison the apartheid regime's power hungry were rank amateurs.
