Last Wednesday they presented their findings to the parliamentary portfolio committee on social development.

The response of the members of parliament on that committee? Set up an investigation that will look into the issue.

The ANC's Tshilidzi Munyai reverted to what is the party's default mode when it comes to corruption: attacking the messenger, questioning the credibility of the students who uncovered the massive fraud happening in the SRD grant system. No surprises there.

The national executive committee of the ANC met over the weekend and part of their discussions were to be on a document on corruption and how it affects the organisation, according to News24.

The report allegedly states that the ANC's response to corruption has affected state organs in how they respond to corruption.

"The state investigative units and prosecutorial authorities appear to be weakened by factional battles and are unable to perform their functions effectively."
