ANC Chief Whip Faces Mounting Pressure Over Nepotism Scandal

ANC Chief Whip Faces Mounting Pressure Over Nepotism Scandal

South Africa’s political sphere is embroiled in controversy as ANC Chief Whip Pemmy Majodina faces growing demands to resign over allegations of nepotism and misconduct. The scandal centers on a parliamentary tender awarded to her son, Mkhonto Wesizwe Majodina, for personal protective equipment (PPE) and graphics design services—a move that has sparked accusations of favoritism and ethical violations.

The Institute for Democracy and Transformation has lodged a formal complaint with Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, calling for an investigation into whether Majodina improperly influenced the tender process. Meanwhile, ANC MP Lawrence McDonald has filed a criminal complaint of fraud and corruption against her at Cape Town Central Police Station, intensifying pressure for accountability.

The controversy gained traction after a leaked audio recording of President Cyril Ramaphosa surfaced, reigniting debates about corruption within the ANC. Majodina’s son, the sole director of King Mzimshe Trading, secured the parliamentary contract despite concerns over his close familial ties to the Chief Whip—raising red flags about conflicts of interest.

The Institute for Democracy and Transformation argues that the tender award may violate Section 217 of the Constitution, which requires public procurement to be fair, transparent, and competitive. The organization alleges potential misuse of parliamentary resources and taxpayer funds. In response, Majodina admitted that her son’s involvement could be seen as nepotism, further fueling public outrage.

Adding to the scandal, ANC MP Mervin Dirks—who first raised concerns about the tender—claims he was suspended in retaliation for whistleblowing. Dirks had previously pressed Ramaphosa to address allegations of ANC corruption before facing disciplinary action from Majodina. His suspension has drawn criticism, with many viewing it as an attempt to silence dissent.

“It’s tragic that whistleblowers face persecution for doing their duty,” Dirks stated, highlighting the risks of exposing misconduct within government. His case has amplified scrutiny over Majodina’s leadership and the ANC’s commitment to transparency.

As investigations proceed, calls for Majodina’s resignation grow louder, with critics arguing that the scandal undermines public trust in Parliament. The affair underscores broader concerns about accountability and ethical governance in South Africa’s political landscape.

While the outcome remains uncertain, the scandal sends a clear message: voters demand integrity from their leaders, and allegations of impropriety will not go unchallenged. The case serves as a critical test for the ANC’s willingness to confront internal corruption and uphold democratic principles.

Neither Majodina nor the ANC has issued further statements on the matter. The Public Protector’s findings could prove pivotal in determining her political future.
