2 DAILY SUN KHOZA: ANC MUST DIE! By TEBOGO MOKWENA FOR the ANC to learn, it first has to die. And then it can resurrect, like Jesus did! Those were the words of Makhosi Khoza speaking at the 11th annual Helen Joseph Memorial Lecture at the University of Joburg on Tuesday. The former ANC MP didn t hold back in her scathing criticism of her former party. She slammed the party s lack of moral consciousness. Given that our country is going through the worst moral leadership crisis since 1994, it is important that we reconnect and fuse together moral consciousness. Honouring struggle stalwart Helen Joseph, Teenager killed in violent protest! she said: The reason she fought the apartheid system was because it represented an unjust consciousness which was at odds with her own moral conscience. Today, the organisation she once associated with tells members of parliament they shouldn t vote according to their moral consciousness. The only organisation she once believed in now puts the life of an individual above that of the people. Today, it persecutes truth in the name of organisational discipline.

IEC sorts out voters addresses By KARABO RAMMUTLA THE IEC has made progress in collating the addresses of registered voters. This was announced in Tshwane by the new IEC CEO, Sy Mamabolo, at the launch of the online address capture campaign yesterday. Last June, the Constitutional Court ruled the IEC had failed to meet its obligation to collect and maintain a database of the addresses of registered voters. Mamabolo said the new IEC website would allow Mzansi s registered It was voted in, it can be voted out voters to check, confirm and update their addresses. Those whose addresses remained the same should still confirm them. He said the percentage of complete addresses on the voters list had increased from 34% in March last year to 73%, the number of incomplete addresses had been reduced from 34% to 15% and people without any address went down from 32% to 11%. Registered voters can go to www.elections.org.za/myiec to confirm their addresses. Khoza called for the ANC to face the consequences of its actions. She said while in the party, she was told it was self-correcting, like the ocean. The ANC is not a religion. It is no longer what we joined, but something else. It was voted in and can be voted out. It is an organisation whose relevance is determined by quality of service and moral position in society. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Daily Sun understands cops got a tip off about a house where drugs were being sold in Vanderbijlpark, in the Vaal, south of Joburg and decided to raid the house. On arrival, the cops allegedly stormed the house and woke everyone up, both in the house and in the rooms outside. They were seen entering the house and later when they came out, a dead man was found inside, believed to have been suffocated with a plastic bag over his head. A tenant who lives in a back room in the yard said they were also searched and questioned. Cops didn t find drugs or anything illegal on any of us, said a resident. According to another resident who claims he was an eyewitness, the cops were with the man in the house. The man allegedly refused to admit that he sold drugs, so cops threatened him. The witness said the four cops covered his head with plastic and he suffocated to death. Cops, however, tell a different story. They claim the man was already dead when they went into the house. A man living in the yard said he heard dogs barking and woke up. When I got outside I found many cops in the yard. I was put against the wall and searched. When the cops heard me speaking Sotho they let me to go. He said when he went into the house he found his neighbour being beaten by the cops. They had plastic over his head. I asked them to stop. They told me to leave and said the man would tell the truth. The GET DAILY SUN BY SMS!

I found him dead, he claimed. The dead man s family say they have no doubt the cops killed him by suffocating him during their interrogation. After the dead man s family was called, they erupted in an anguished rage and took the body out to the yard. There they placed it on the bonnet of the cop van. You killed him, now eat him or bury him, relatives of the dead man screamed at cops. In a video captured by witnesses, the dead man s relatives and friends can be seen venting their anger at cops who look nervous and try to cover each other. Family members and friends at the scene were very emotional and wept next to the man s corpse as it lay on top of the cop van. Gauteng police spokesman Captain Kay Makhubele said the man was found dead by their cops. At this state we will have to wait for the outcome of the post mortem to determine the cause of death. There were no visible injuries on the deceased, he said. He said they had heard the allegations that the man was killed. We registered a murder docket after allegations that he was killed were brought to our attention. Makhubele said attempted murder and assault cases were opened after officers on the scene were attacked. Six of our officers were injured. No suspects have been arrested yet. *464*76# (First day FREE (R1/day afterwards) Having trouble finding your favourite paper?
