Solly Moeng on South Africa's corruption crisis

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Solly Moeng, blasts President Cyril Ramaphosa for his appointments of Ayanda Dlodlo as Ambassador to France and Dina Pule to Cabinet. “...the ANC still looks in its own dustbin of people they've thrown in the past to say, OK, maybe this one, people have forgotten who they are. Let's use them again.” He further slams the President’s failure to act against suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. “It's the same thing as Jacob Zuma not being charged for State Capture… This whole Madlanga Commission was started because this man decided to, from what we've heard, listen to voices that he shouldn't have listened to in order to dismantle a police unit that was busy scratching in places where seemingly the criminal network was not liking it anymore.” Moeng also describes the “mud pit” predicament of current Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Geordin Hill-Lewis over the damaging public spat between two former party leaders, Tony Leon and John Steenhuisen “... whether Geordin Hill-Lewis wants to be part of the conversation or not, it's hurting the political party. This is the DA that has always been positioned as morally higher, holier than thou kind of party…it's pushing the DA morally, ethically on the back foot. So it's going to be interesting to see how they survive this.” Moeng further comments on the latest corruption revelations at the Madlanga Commission, and the games being played by some of the big role players. “I really hope that Madlanga will give the criminal justice system something that will lead to the fall of the big names hidden in there.”
