Good that we have done. not that in that 30 years we did nothing wrong — we did falter, we made mistakes, we did veer away — we accept. and that is why we are determined to come back. we renew ourselves. we change things. we fight corruption. we fight even the possibility of degenerating to a failed state. thats what we are determined to do as the anc. and we have to end there, but, fikile mbalula, i thank you very much for being on hardtalk. thank you. thank you very much.

I cant give you now the numbers. how many billions have been covered through forfeiture units, which has been beefed up in the fight against state capture and getting money that has been stolen as a result of corruption in this country. as we speak, youre not emphasising that. correctly so, the report of the zondo commission does say those things. but who established the zondo commission? its the anc. where are the big fish in the government and the anc who are currently behind bars for systemic...

Of eskom, he has said that organised criminal cartels have been operating inside the state—owned energy company. he says that the anc knows about it. 0ne senior minister acknowledged it to him and said, to paraphrase him, that the comrades have to eat. and another senior figure inside the ruling party, according to mr de ruyter, was actively involved in the systemic corruption. the less said about de ruyter, the better. because... because its too embarrassing. no, he should be telling us that ...

We know that 41 billion rand was looted from transnet, the main transport state—owned enterprise by state capture. this is not for discussion. the zondo commission has investigated and thats what it found. who established the zondo commission? its the anc. asa mea... you expect credit... you expect credit for that? ..as a measure of fighting corruption. i dont expect credit for that. im saying do not be economic with your projection of the past as though it was not dealt with. thats the proble...

A book which is not conclusive, all in all, including giving us... that is why ive taken him to court and im suing him, not for money, but for saying to him, bring what you say to the fore, because you failed as an agent of the law. the position that you occupied to take that matter to law, because there are laws in this country that require him as a chief executive officer not to seek permission from a politician, but to take it to law enforcement ministers. he told ministers, he certainly told...

And that is why we are focused in terms of dealing with it. it is an achilles heel. and i cant tell you tonight or any time that this is an easy matter for our government. surely, after covid—i9, this is the biggest challenge that has actually faced us internally. its very candid of you to say this is an achilles heel, because achilles heels tend to bring people down, and if this continues, it will bring the anc down, wont it? it will affect the fortunes of the anc to reduce the outright major...
