Chikane and the commissioners briefed journalists for the first time since being appointed about three months ago.
Sophia de Bruyn and Frank Chikane brief journalists on the ANC integrity commission's plan of action and method of operation at the OR Tambo Leadership School on Tuesday. The briefing presented the new integrity commission, among other things.“I'm not ready to be governed by criminals,” says Rev Frank Chikane as he takes over at the ANC’s integrity commission.
The integrity commission would do its bit to ensure that the corruption and criminality that had become synonymous with the country was dealt with. Theirs, Chikane said explaining the role of the IC, was not to only haul over the coals those facing criminal charges but to operate at a much higher level where and police ethics and morality rather than crime.
“This issue of integrity most people don’t understand. The commissioners have met so many people, and among those people clearly when you interact with them you can see that they have recalibrated their understanding of ethics,” said Chikane. “They don’t say that if you do something that’s unethical it’s a problem. But once you recalibrate like that then you’ve got a serious problem.”
The ethics body said at the time it could not determine whether it was Ramaphosa, those who worked on the farm, Arthur Fraser, who laid the charges, or ANC members and leaders.
