ANC rubishes Sunday Times claims of alleged Gupta finance minister job offer

14 March 2016 7:51 AM

ANC's Zizi Kodwa on Monday dismissed the Sunday Times report which reported details of the alleged Gupta offer to Mcebisi Jonas for the position of finance minister.

702's John Robbie spoke to ANC spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa, regarding the issue.

Listen to the interview below:

The mention of the name of deputy secretary general was nothing but a way to legitimise the gossip.
— Zizi Kodwa, ANC spokesperson

We'd like to hear from him exactly what transpired, whether there is proof in the allegation of the meeting.
— Zizi Kodwa, ANC spokesperson

We can't allow ourselves to be influenced by anyone who is outside of the structures of the organisation.
— Zizi Kodwa, ANC spokesperson

There seems to be a perception growing in the public that there are people outside of the ANC who are influencing decisions.
— Zizi Kodwa, ANC spokesperson
