Dlamini-Zuma retracts Lamola voice note claim, concerns continue over ANC leadership money influence
Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma retracts her claim regarding a voice note attributed to Ronald Lamola, yet her serious concerns about the pervasive influence of money in ANC leadership contests continue to resonate.
Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, a member of the African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC), has announced that she has withdrawn her previous allegations against colleague Ronald Lamola. According to a recent Renaissance Podcast, Dlamini-Zuma had claimed that Lamola was involved in a scheme of vote-buying during the ANC’s 54th National Conference.
In response, Lamola called for Dlamini-Zuma to retract her allegations publicly or face legal action. Despite this, the ANC veteran emphasizes that her initial concerns regarding the influence of money in the party's leadership contests remain relevant and must be addressed for the renewal and integrity of the ANC.
