A MEMBER of the ANC's national executive committee, Enoch Godongwana, has urged members of the party to "take action" against corruption and the growing number of unemployed youths.
Godongwana was speaking on the the final day of the South African Municipal Workers' Union congress in Bloemfontein on Friday.
He said corruption was rife in government and that unionists should be concerned about the high unemployment rate.
He also complained that while the ANC was plagued by infighting, their opposition, the Democratic Alliance, was strengthening its campaign.
Godongwana was forced to resign as deputy minister of economic development earlier this year, after a probe into the disappearance of more than R90-million from the Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers' Union's pension funds.
"The country's biggest challenge now is the unemployment, Godongwana said.

Where does he get the guts to talk about corruption when he is suspected of stealing money from workers hence he was forced to resign? He doesn't take us serious at all.

Comrade Enoch is a very educated ANC comrades who is one of our most trusted in Policy wing of the ANC, well we here is out cry but he must first explain the 100 million textile pension money that he stole last year, the records of which are in the President last drawer at the moment, I have personally seen the records and is very sad that Comrade Enoch run with the murder after what happened due to serious political involvement! Well we need to be serious about fighting corruption in Government t and ANC ranks we can not perpetually advocate and protect corrupt antics in our country!Report Abuse

Sorry guys, but the R4000 billion easy money left by the wh.ite man after '94 is all gone into hidden handsThen only things left to steel are the banks, mines and farms.
Unless you are du.mb enough to think that when they call for nationalization that you will all getz a little dividend cheque annually.
