Corruption within the African National Congress is so rife that it can no longer be regarded as a perception says party secretary general Gwede Mantashe. Speaking to party supporters in Evaton‚ south of Johannesburg on Tuesday‚ Mantashe warned that corruption cannot be allowed to continue as it hampers government's ability to deliver services. "The ANC should not be corrupt and if the ANC is corrupt‚ then something has gone wrong. At this stage‚ we cannot say that it (corruption) is a perception. There are people in the ANC who loot the state and when you loot‚ you destroy the ability of the state to deliver services‚" Mantashe said to loud applause from community members and party supporters.
