While the disciplinary process launched by ANC Secretary-general Fikile Mbalula against three national executive committee (NEC) members could ignite the party's renewal drive, political analysts have cautioned the move could have a backlash if all leaders fingered in the Zondo commission are not punished.
Mbalula has asked the ANC's integrity commission to resume disciplinary processes against NEC members Malusi Gigaba, David Mahlobo and Cedric Frolick - among several party heavyweights implicated in the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, headed by outgoing Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, into billions of taxpayers' money siphoned through massive graft.
Corruption Watch executive director Karam Singh said the public should be guarded in its expectations and allow ANC processes play out - hoping the disciplinary process could "provide impetus to the much-spoken renewal process and finally seeing the party deal with the issue of accountability for state capture".
Independent political analyst Sandile Swana and University of KwaZulu-Natal politics lecturer Zakhele Ndlovu warned of adverse implications in the ANC disciplinary processes, should the party be selective in dealing with those implicated by Zondo.
