African National Congress activist Denis Goldberg, the only
white man to be convicted among 10 people on trial for their lives alongside
Nelson Mandela and served 22 years in prison, has called for leaders of the party to be
replaced.
"Corruption is a problem. I personally believe, and I
will say it publicly as I do in South Africa, the members of the ANC need to
renew the leadership from top to bottom. I'm not going to name names, because
it's a problem throughout, from national, provincial and local government
level."
The ANC veteran said that "a definite attempt" was
now required by ANC members to say "enough is enough" and instigate a
leadership clear-out.
"Let us focus on
the needs of our people, not on your needs as new political leaders with access
to power, and therefore wealth and personal enrichment, which robs us, in a
way, of our freedom."
