JOHANNESBURG - Political Analyst Moeletsi Mbeki has warned that the African National Congress (ANC) will increase its corrupt activities as the party gets closer to losing power.

The brother to former president Thabo Mbeki claimed that the fear of being ousted after the 2024 election would motivate ANC members to line their pockets as much as possible in the next 15 months, TimesLIVE reported.

Mbeki added:

"The irony and the painful part about it is the closer the ANC gets to losing power, the more corruption we are going to see.”

Moeletsi Mbeki says SA is worse off under Cyril Ramaphosa's presidency

Speaking on SABC News, Mbeki lamented the state of South Africa under President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration.

The political analyst complained that people are getting poorer in the country, and the government has failed to dampen widespread corruption.

Mbeki added that Ramaphosa's administration had hardly implemented the recommendation of the Zondo commission on State Capture.

Mbeki looked to South Africa's struggling state-owned enterprises as an example of how inefficient the government in the country had become.

The former president's brother said Eskom was a shining example of the government's failing but pointed to the inefficient use of SA's railway network by Transnet as another example of inefficiency in government.

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said the ruling party is committed to dealing with acts of corruption or criminality.
