As the ANC's 50th elective conference draws closer, presidential hopeful Zweli Mkhize has warned against alleged vote-buying in branches.
According to Mkhize, the ruling party needs leaders who are humble and remain in touch with its supporters.
“There is no place for arrogance and self-serving leaders who believe it is their birthright to be elected to high and well-paid positions,” he said. Mkhize also lamented corruption, fraud and incompetence in public office, saying such actions by ANC members and leaders would have left former ANC president Tambo disappointed.Digital Vibes tender scandal“I’ve learnt lessons out of this and think we need to be more vigilant as we go into the future. In this case, even though I say I had no personal benefit and was not directly involved in the procurement process, I have issued an apology to say it was happening in my department.
“I believe I have the experience that will assist in ensuring the good policies of the party are implemented.”
