The apartheid government was in control for 44 years and the
current African National Congress (ANC) government in power for 22 years. Now
some mentally challenged idiots want to know why the apartheid government stole
money and are promoting a video on social
media. The video is old news, but it is
all about indoctrinating the minds of the ignorant masses and inciting hatred. What
they fail to tell the masses is how much money was stolen by the ANC government
in less than half the time the apartheid government remained in power.
Corruption is widely practiced and stems from the abuse of
public resources, nepotism, bribery and tender fraud. The weakness of public
institutions and greedy appetites of
political players are the forerunner of why corruption is out of control.
Is it not strange that both Nelson Mandela a
Thabo Mbeki did not insist on investigating corruption of the apartheid regime
when the Ciex report was leaked. Most of the accusations against the apartheid
government have remained unproved. However, after 44 years in power, it was
determined that an estimated amount of 400 billion was looted by the apartheid regime.
Small change for the ANC.
Notable cases of corrupt
practices and fraud since 1994 were the Arms deal, Schabir Shaik trial,
the travel gate scandal. There is the
Goodwood police station saga implicating Siphiwu
Hewana for tampering with evidence in the Tony Yengini fraud case. Not to forget
the Jacki Selebi and Nkandla homestead. Chancellor House who earned billions
for the ANC from the building of power stations. The Gupta debacle, how many
billions have the government thrown their way, by means of advertising. Let
us not forget the oversized trains at PRASA, the Sekunjalo sea patrol tender, and Bruce Kholoane. Funds used for Cuba and Clayson Moneyla are a few more deals that cost the taxpayers billions of
rands.
A report issued during 2012 indicated that between 1994 and
2008 the country lost 185 billion rands
to corruption. In 2009 a further 70 billion was lost and another 100 billion
lost in 2011. Another four cases of fraud totaling 175 billion are being
investigated. Therefore up until 2012, the ANC in power for 18 years
managed to plunder away over 550 billion. Who knows how
much more money has been pilfered away in the last four years.
Is the ANC smarter than the apartheid regime
when it comes to corruption? Without a doubt! While the mindless few continue
to infiltrate the minds of the ignoramus millions and stir up dissension, let
us not forget that it's all about dictatorship.
Watch the video and you decide!
