Cape Town – Concerns have emerged about potential arrests of top ANC leaders following former Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa’s court appearance on corruption charges linked to R1.6 million in bribes.
Kodwa was arrested and charged with corruption on Wednesday last week, as his ANC party wrangles with how to form a new government after major election losses.
Arrested alongside former EOH boss Jehan Mackay, both were granted R30,000 bail after appearing in the Palm Ridge commercial crimes court.
A City Press report suggested on Sunday that more ANC officials may face arrest, though the Hawks and the NPA declined to comment on further actions.
“Insiders said following Kodwa’s arrest on Tuesday on state capture-related charges, the Hawks were allegedly set to pounce on their next target,” the publication said, according to The Citizen.
ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, however, said the party was unaware of any pending arrests.
Around 90 ANC members, including senior figures like Gwede Mantashe and Nomvula Mokonyane, were implicated in the State Capture Commission report, which recommended further investigations, the report said.
