In an unprecedented move for South African politics, Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele will disclose her financial affairs on Wednesday for public scrutiny. The decision seems aimed to embarrass the ANC-led government. Since the party ascended to power in 1994, some ANC officials holding senior positions in government became entangled in corruption, including tender irregularities, fraud and nepotism. Ramphele’s move comes during a week when Public Protector Thuli Madonsela is expected to release her report into President Jacob Zuma’s controversial multimillion-rand upgrades to his private Nkandla residence. Agang said the decision was is line with the party’s anti-corruption commitment and promoting transparency and accountability in public office.
