Sindiswa Gomba
IOL reported that controversial Health MEC for the Eastern Cape Sindiswa Gomba was fired in February for her part in the looting of funds from the State that were supposed to be used to honour the late Nelson Mandela.
Zandile Gumede
A report by The Witness noted former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede as another member of the ruling party facing charges of corruption.
Ace Magashule
ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule is being charged with corruption relating to a multi-million-rand asbestos roofing scam that he was supposedly part of.
Jacob Zuma
The former president may no longer be involved in the day-to-day working of the ANC but his charges of corruption as well as his Constitutional Court defiance and refusal to appear before the Zondo Commission make him fall under various lists.
In other news, Briefly.co.za recently reported that Magashule seemed to be cool, calm and collected as he planted trees in Soweto.
Magashule spoke to members of the community as well as journalists on the scene on Wednesday, 31 March, regarding the prompting for him to step down by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The controversial SG went on to say that he was not going anywhere and would begin consulting the former leaders of the ANC, starting with former ANC Treasurer-General Matthews Phosa.
