ANC REACTION TO JAMES MOTLATSI’S UTTERANCES ON RADIO 702

The African National Congress is shocked at the remarks made by businessman James Motlatsi on Radio 702 this morning Friday, 2nd December 2022 that President Cryil Ramaphosa can’t be told by criminals to leave.

While the ANC holds no right or authority to dictate personal relations it is insensitive and rather disappointing that someone of his statue can make such reckless insinuations at a time when the movement and the country are faced with a dilemma emanating from the parliamentary Section 89 report on the Phalaphala saga.

Mr Motlatsi’s unfortunate remarks are devoid of organisational commitment to free, robust and impersonal engagement on any matter.

We call on Mr. Motlatsi who is also a veteran activist to consider withdrawing his unfortunate divisive remarks which are harmful and hurting to our movement. The same goes to others who maybe tempted to engage of such public spat.
