ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe has admitted the party cannot successfully fight corruption if persisting factions in the organisation continue to create disunity.
Speaking at the Moses Kotane memorial lecture at the University of Johannesburg on Wednesday, Mantashe said it was high time the party was saved from the corruption that had created disunity among ANC party members.
He said the ANC had to listen to the grievances of people who had directly been affected by corruption. My own view is that if we are consistent, we take our time, we don t retreat when people insult us, we will win the battle against corruption. It s dividing the ANC. If we don t defeat it, it will kill the ANC, he said.

An insider said, âA lot of it was orchestrated by Meghanâs people in America. It was a bit of a secret squirrel.â âThere were well-developed proposals in place with Quibi from early 2019,â another insider added.

Disgruntled student protesters have blocked roads in Johannesburg, as a national movement to shut down universities continued on Monday.
The South African Union of Students (SAUS) has vowed to bring all institutions to a standstill, through mass protest action at 26 different universities on Monday.
The nationwide action comes after the SAUS held a meeting with the higher education department to discuss its demands, which include the clearing of historical debt for all students and that registration for all first-year students be allowed to proceed while the government is still sorting out the funding challenges. They also want a 0% increase for the 2021 academic year.
