38. ANC report admits party has failed
Johannesburg - The ANC has conceded it has dismally failed to meet its own delivery targets
for the five years up to this year on rooting out corruption, reducing unemployment, and
narrowing the gap between the poor and the rich.
However, the ruling party said it made significant progress in improving education and
healthcare, especially in the matric results and the reduction of HIV/Aids.
It had also exceeded its target in youth employment, education and training.
These are among the findings of party’s internal draft report on its implementation of
government priorities between 2009 and this year.
Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane presented the report at the ANC’s lekgotla on
Friday, a few days before the party consolidates its nomination list for the election candidates.
The party had, in its 2009 election manifesto, identified the fight against crime and corruption,
the creation of decent work, education, healthcare and rural development, food security and
land reform as its five key priorities for the next five years. This year’s election manifesto has
stuck to these priority areas.
Titled the “Close-out Report on the Implementation of Government Priorities for 2009-2014”,
the 162-page document, seen by The Star, was presented to a workshop last month.
It is to be tabled before the cabinet lekgotla.
For all its intention to clamp down on corruption and face the fifth democratic elections with a
cleaner image, the ANC appears to have an uphill battle in curbing this malady.
Of the 100 people with assets of R5 million obtained through corruption that the party had
targeted to convict by this year, only 41 have been successfully convicted.
About 790 people are under investigation, while freezing orders with assets estimated to be
valued at R1.3 billion have been obtained.
The ANC’s own rating has highlighted this crucial target as “not achieved”.
The report identified “slow reporting”, “identification of cases that meet the target criterion” of
having R5m assets, and inadequate skilled investigators as among the problems hindering
progress in cracking down on fraudsters.
Other impediments listed include unco-operative witnesses, criminal investigations being
hampered by suspects who remain in office after being charged, and lack of finalisation of
complex cases.
The report further shows the ANC’s target on employment is “not likely to be achieved”.
