The Enemy Within: How the ANC lost the battle against corruption – Mpumelelo Mkhabela
Mpumelelo Mkhabela discusses his book 'The Enemy Within: How the ANC lost the battle against corruption' (Camera & Editing: Shadwyn Dickinson)
At a watershed meeting in Port Elizabeth in 2000 the ANC committed itself to “the new cadre” project – a project to develop ANC members who are dedicated, selfless people who steer clear from corruption and embrace a new morality.
Yet, 22 years later the ANC is consumed by corrupt cadres. What happened and why was the ANC’s “new cadre” project such a complete failure?
Political analyst and News24 columnist Mpumelelo Mkhabela answers these questions and more by looking at what happened inside the party over the past two decades. How did former presidents Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma handle corruption and how did this set a trend in the party?
The Enemy Within tells a fascinating and gripping story, starting with Mandela, the Scorpions and Tony Yengeni all the way to Zuma and the Guptas to explain exactly how we got here.
