A database of government officials implicated in corruption must be created to prevent them from getting other jobs, the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal said on Monday.
“Employees who resign when investigated for corruption should be banned from taking other posts,” said ANC provincial secretary Sihle Zikalala.
He was briefing reporters on proposals made during the ANC's lekgotla in Dundee at the weekend.
Zikalala said there was a problem of officials who resigned while still under investigation for graft.
“They resign when they discover that they are being investigated. You then see them emerging somewhere.”
Zikalala said the party wanted the database to contain the names of officials who had been implicated in corruption or maladministration.
“We call on all departments and municipalities to do a security check of such cases before employment is confirmed,” he said.
“The scourge of corruption remains a threat to our revolution. It is in essence sabotaging the progress of the service delivery to our people.”
Zikalala said the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal supported the creation of courts which would deal only with corruption-related cases.
“We once again call on government to fast-track disciplinary cases in departments and in local municipality.”
The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal also wanted the ruling party to reduce the number of its national executive committee members from 88 to 66. The move was aimed at strengthening the ANC’s body, he said.
The lekgotla resolved to encourage the government to review the tender system which “undermined the capacity of the state”.
“The state should build its own capacity, not relying only on the external capacity to deliver its services. We call on the government to take charge of the implementation of this infrastructure programme,” Zikalala said.
He said the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal wanted its proposals to form part of the discussions during the ANC policy conference later this year. – Sapa

Basically, make a list of all ANC members in KZN and there is the corruption list. if you want a detailed comprehensive list, just start with el presidente and work your way to the last member. Finished...

Excellent idea but what about the ministers who have been relieved of their posts but still retain their MP status and seats in Parliament?

A resignation does not end an investigation, the ANC simply does not want to have their name splashed all over the international news in connection with ongoing criminal cases against 80% of its cabinet, so they let the matter slide into history while making the mainly White, Indian and coloured taxpayer fork out extra to cover ANC theft.

There should be no problem getting those ANC names, just list all of them. I have never met or known of any honest ANC politicians!!!!! Scrap BEE and employ competent people who can deliver.

I suggest that you start by putting all the ANC officials on the database and then take of the few who are not implicated in corruption. It will be quicker that way.

ANC - I had relatives who died in exile while members of ANC. We got nothing post 1994 and i became my own man due to hard work. It is sickening to see all these " late-comers" plundering our country for their own benefit. Nothing will become of this as the ANC does not have the "stomach" to act against cadres. See how Northern Cape Premier supports a high-ranking ANC official, implicated in Fraud & corruption. What example does she set ? I suppose it is a case to see that your bread is buttered wboth ways. Is this what the struggle was about ? Look at the debacle surrounding Bara Hospital ........... we cannot even sort out one hospital.

It would be easier to maintain a database of those who are not corrupt. This is the full list so far: -

Zuma and Sahik can be the first names on the database as part of this wonderful initiative. If their names are not on there then it won't even be worth 10 cents. Yengeni's another name that HAS to be on there seeing he was convicted of corruption. Let's see if those names appear on the database.
