Busa president accuses BBC president Sandile Zungu of complicity in corruption because of the organisation's closeness to Jacob Zuma

An open letter by Sipho Pityana to Sandile Zungu has upped the ante in the rivalry between the pro-Zuma and pro-Ramaphosa camps. Picture: SOWETAN/MDUDUZI NDZINGI

Pityana, who has written an open letter to Zungu in his personal capacity, is also chair of AngloGold Ashanti and his own empowerment group Izingwe Capital. He was prominent in the campaign to remove former president Jacob Zuma from office. Pityana says he chose to write the letter to coincide with the summit, to urge BBC members to honestly reflect on the role the organisation played in state capture. The BBC was strongly supportive of Zuma and during his presidency its status soared, receiving privileged access to international platforms and state visits.

Pityana accuses BBC of being like ‘apartheid era pimps’Business Unity SA president, Sipho Pityana, has accused Black Business Council president Sandile Zungu and the organisation of being like “apartheid era pimps”. JustinBrownSA This is going to be ugly. Two bulls... JustinBrownSA This was absolute drivel. I can never get my time back after reading that sorry excuse to pass the blame. Without standing for or against Manyi and Zungu, can Pityana justify his rumored net worth of some R150m or so we are led to believe? JustinBrownSA While we’re at it, if State Capture is such a massive project that he lays at the feet of Black business under BBC, and he tell us of his perceived closeness to Little Brenthurst and what value he not only derived but also created for the residents of said estate.
