He said the SACP was instead looking forward to more arrests and the prosecution of those implicated in looting the bank.
"Others, including the elderly and the sick, lost their lives as a result of depression following the looting of their funds," said Mitileni."The SACP lost its leaders who were killed for leading our campaign for those who were involved in the VBS great bank heist to be held to account.
"There is nothing that will stop us in our determination to deepen the campaign for justice for our people who were affected by the looting of VBS - and to confront corruption generally." ANC provincial spokesperson Donald Selamolela said it was"unfortunate" that the SACP had issued the statement because the party had outlined a process to be followed on the matter."It would be very important for them to await that process where they will be formally briefed [by the ANC] and then any other thing will happen post that particular briefing.
"To jump and issue a statement even before they are formally briefed on what transpired, how decisions were arrived at, is quite unfortunate." He said the SACP were the partners of the ANC and it was wrong for them to engage the party using media statements. He also distanced the ANC from a poster currently doing the rounds on social media bearing the faces of the two and welcoming them back.
