President Cyril Ramaphosa fired a salvo at his detractors while delivering his political report at the beginning of the ANC elective conference, making reference to state capture which visibly raised the ire of his predecessor Jacob Zuma.
Zuma — who had just hours before announced that he had opened a private criminal case against his successor — made his grand entrance to the Nasrec venue of the conference just after Ramaphosa started delivering his address.
Ramaphosa went on to deliver the report despite heckling from a small group of KwaZulu-Natal delegates who continued to boo and chant as he spoke. Ramaphosa said the party had taken decisive measures to end state capture, restore good governance at state-owned enterprises, rebuild public institutions and enable the criminal justice system to pursue the perpetrators of corruption.
