ANC 'misguided' to end probe into 'state capture' – SACP

SA Communist Party (SACP) leader and Higher Education Minister, Blade Nzimande has criticised the ANC for not further pursuing investigations into allegations of state capture.
The SACP's central committee met in Johannesburg over the weekend.
Nzimande says the leadership of the ANC is misguided in dismissing concerns about corporate capture.
On Tuesday, ANC secretary general, Gwede Mantashe, announced that the ANC had decided to close an investigation into state capture, branding it a "fruitless exercise" because of the low number of submissions.
Former government spokesperson, Themba Maseko, was the only one to hand in a written submission out of the eight who had originally complained to Mantashe.
Previously, Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas has publicly declared that members of the Gupta family had offered him the job of finance minister before Nhlanhla Nene was sacked in December 2015.
