Johannesburg - An investigation into all private companies that do business with the South African government is long overdue, said African National Congress secretary-general Ace Magashule.
"I do not know why South Africa is not actually investigating every company which has done work with government. Only one particular family company is targeted. Go to government and find out who has done business with government...I was a provincial leader. Big companies make billions while young black people's companies get 20 projects worth R5 million. There is no commission that has ever pronounced on that.
"I do not want to enter that space...it is what he is saying. You do know what [former president Mandela] in the past around this matter, I am sure you also know what Oliver Tambo said too in the past. When you are a leader of an organisation, you are that organisation and you keep the resolutions...not the fashion we see now where we discuss matters in the national executive committee and those get leaked.
