Below is the full statement.
The EFF rejects the cabinet reshuffle announced by
Ramaphosa this evening. We view it as a mere realignment of corrupt and state
capture delinquent ministers. No one‚ with the best interests of South Africa
today‚ could have Malusi Gigaba‚ Nomvula Mokonyane‚ Bathabile Dlamini as
cabinet members and ministers.
Bathabile Dlamini has essentially been rewarded with a promotion
into the presidency regardless of the fact that she nearly collapsed the social
grants system for the poor. Above all is Gigaba‚ whose state capture crimes
come close to treason as he facilitated the handing over of state institutions
to a foreign nationals in the form of the Guptas. To keep such characters in
the cabinet is a direct rejection of the constitutional order; Gigaba lied
under oath‚ in a court of law.
Ramaphosa has bowed to factional pressure in the ANC
proving that he is presiding over a kleptocratic collective that cannot be
saved. His inability to dispense with individuals implicated in corruption is
evidence that no one can save ANC from corruption. It is entangled for good.
We call on the people of South Africa to reject the entire
ANC and vote it all out in 2019. We warned that Ramaphosa is only interested in
careerism‚ and has no demonstrable history of integrity and fighting
corruption.
Nevertheless‚ we welcome changes in finance; the
appointment of Nhlanhla Nene is a reaffirmation of confidence in black and
African leadership.
