Nkepile Mabuse sits down with Reverend Frank Chikane for a powerful CheckPoint conversation on ANC corruption, political integrity, state capture, compromised leadership and South Africa’s long struggle to rebuild public trust.
Chikane, chairperson of the ANC Integrity Commission, reflects on the moral and political roots of corruption after 1994. He recalls warning Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki that “the old” was corrupting “the new”, and argues that laws alone could never solve a crisis rooted in culture, vulnerability and political behaviour.
The conversation examines how returning comrades were allegedly targeted by state and business interests, how empowerment systems were exploited, and why compromised leaders should not remain in leadership. Nkepile also presses Chikane on legal delays, integrity, the “dollars in a couch” controversy, state capture, police corruption and whether the ANC can still clean itself from within.
Watch for a direct, topical and sometimes jaw-dropping discussion on South African politics, accountability, ANC renewal, the Integrity Commission, corruption and the moral crisis facing public leadership.
