Three organisations representing the African National Congress stalwarts issued a powerful appeal to the ruling party to implement urgent ‘corrective’ actions against state capture and other threats to democracy.

Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom’s name – on behalf of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation – is listed at the end of the letter that was sent to the National Executive Committee.

The other listed names are Dr Frene Ginwala, acting chair of the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation, and Professor Njabulo Ndebele, chairperson of the board of trustees of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

The organisations appealed to the NEC to “take note of the mood of the people across the country … to take urgent correction actions in the best interest of South Africa.”
