President Cyril Ramaphosa has no “long game” to deal with corruption. The only game is the African National Congress (ANC) held together by corruption - and run like a syndicate.  So says Democratic Alliance’s Shadow Minister of Small Business Development, Jan de Villiers. He speaks to BizNews after the president temporarily suspended - instead of sacked - the Deputy Minister of Small Business Development, and former Transport Minister, Dipuo Peters, after a probe into her misconduct by the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members Interests. He says suspending her for just one month “sends a loud and clear message that he is not serious about doing anything about State Capture or people like her who clearly are very much involved in the abuse of State resources”. De Villiers says it was within Ramaphosa’s power to turn the country around, “but that would have meant not running the ANC like a syndicate”.
