He wanted to remind her of the claim, and that there were members of her coalition whose records were besmirched.<\/p>\n<p>He referred News24 to a statement on 27 September, just before the motion of no confidence in Phalatse, which gave 20 allegations as reasons for why the former mayor had to go.<\/p>\n<p>The DA did not respond to the statement at the time, nor did the multiparty coalition.<\/p>\n<p>Vondo said Phalatse should not have made the comment that the ANC was corrupt because it cast aspersions on all members.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These allegations are damaging towards people&#8230; [what] if you are a child of a councillor and you go to school and hear your parent is corrupt&#8230; you can&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We understand that we are in a space where we contest ideas, but we can&#8217;t [make statements like that].<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now people could be afraid to stand to be elected to serve their communities because&#8230; [they are all painted with the same brush].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Triple whammy hits Joburg: No water, no electricity and no one steering the ship<\/p>\n<p>Phalatse said: &#8220;We live with the effects of ANC corruption daily \u2013 rolling blackouts, collapsing water infrastructure, alarming unemployment, to name but a few examples.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No citizen should have to apologise for stating a simple fact. ANC-sanctioned and actioned corruption has stolen billions of rand meant to improve the lives of South Africans for the better, not enrich an elite few. &#8220;From its policy of cadre deployment, Auditor-General reports, to six volumes of the Zondo Report, to an admittance by President Ramaphosa himself, the ANC is accused number one when it comes to corruption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said the party had told their lawyers to expect the ANC&#8217;s papers &#8211; and &#8220;we are counting down the hours until the ANC affords South Africans the opportunity they deserve to see just how spectacularly the party has stolen from the country and its people&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In a press statement on Friday, Steenhuisen reiterated these sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By our calculations, the ANC only has 27 hours left to file their threatened legal action. The clock is ticking. Our lawyers are awaiting service of legal papers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said that, as part of the legal case, the party &#8220;has already started preparing&#8221; to expose &#8220;every single instance and scheme of corruption perpetrated by the ANC over the past 30 years&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The case presents a historic opportunity to confirm, before a court of law\u2026 the ANC is corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the DA says to the ANC: Bring it on!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Either the ANC stands by its threat and launches legal action, in which case the DA is ready to expose reams of evidence proving that the ANC is corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the other hand, if the ANC backs down from their public threat, it will prove that this party is not only corrupt, but also home to craven cowards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The DA will be in court on Wednesday to contest the motion of no confidence in Phalatse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
