Everyone has heard of the ANC Information Minister's wife, Sheryl Cwele, who was recently convicted of drug-dealing and drug-smuggling in a South African court along with her co-accused, Frnk Nabolisa (a Nigerian National). The ramifications of this saga are disastrous for the ANC in that they expose the extreme level of corruption that is absolutely indemic to the former liberation movement.
It really is telling when the South African Iformation Minister's wife is convicted of a heinous felony crime and the media is commenting on the involvement of the minister in his wife's activities... But is it an isolated problem inside the ANC? No! There are countless incidences where family members and spouses of government ministers have been implicated in serious crimes and far too many to be listed or commented on here, but which are all available to research on the internet.
Is the Information Ministry of South Africa involved in drug-smuggling and drug-dealing? Yes.
What was the Ministry's involvement with Sheryl Cwele's activities? To provide a secure protection from any media expose or criminal prosecution.
Did the Minister knowingly support Sheryl Cwele's activities? Yes.
How was he involved? He allowed her to travel as a diplomat to the USA and Brazil (amongst other countries). Ministry vehicles were used in the transport of the drugs and various individuals.
What are the ramifications for South Africa and International Police Agencies? South Africa is known as a major link in the smuggling of drugs and contraband. And the Internation Police Agencies have to inspect every diplomatic shipment or person entering their country.
It is a shame that greed has enshrouded our country's image in scandal, but we have to stop these corrupt politcians before they destroy it even more!
