The ANC has come up with a bold new strategy to combat the new wave of corruption which has plagued the Covid-19 procurement scheme.

After the last NEC meeting, it was decided that Ace Magashule would review all reports on corruption and decide which ones the ANC would pursue. He would receive guidance from legal experts in making his decisions.

However, Magashule has been linked to alleged corruption in the past and his sons secured lucrative contracts to supply PPE to the government.

The City Press reported on Sunday that the ANC had developed a new anti-corruption reporting system.

The party has asked all provincial branches to create a list of people accused of corruption. The list would be examined, audited and all other criminal information would be included. A decision would then be made on how to proceed.
