Cape Town – The African National Congress (ANC) has accused businessman Roger Jardine of attempting to recruit ANC veterans based on their struggle credentials for his new political party, Change Starts Now.
Jardine, who consulted with Mavuso Msimang before launching his political venture, has been criticised by ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula, who claimed that individuals who have benefited from ANC policies are now abandoning the party, EWN reported.
Mbalula alleged that Jardine, despite his family’s involvement in the liberation struggle, is a puppet of capital.

“Roger Jardine’s family played a big part in the liberation struggle, not him. He is a beneficiary of BEE, he was made by capital and capital has chosen him. So he’s a puppet of capital. We know a number of veterans like, Murphy Morobe, are being approached one by one,” the report quoted Mbalula as saying.
