ANA reports that National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) general secretary David Sipunzi said on Thursday that the scourge of corruption, if unimpeded, would spark a public revolt in SA.
He was speaking at the NUM Youth Structure’s elective conference in Pretoria and said: “Comrades, the scourge of corruption is eating into the core of the ANC [African National Congress]… If this scourge of corruption is not confronted decisively, it will need to a popular revolt similar to the French Revolution… Our leaders must be sensitive to these issues. Ordinary people, without weapons, can overthrow a government.” Sipunzi also expressed deep concern over the decline of his organisation’s fortunes. He appealed to the youth brigade to work hard to regain that lost respect and ground.
