Mandela's friend: South Africa's ANC party is 'corrupt'

Denis Goldberg, who stood trial alongside Nelson Mandela, has called for new leadership of the governing ANC party in South Africa from "top to bottom" because of corruption.

The anti-apartheid campaigner, who is in the UK to visit the Prime Minister, told John Pienaar that it was time for ANC party members to say "enough is enough".

"Let us focus on the needs of our people, not on your needs as new political leaders with access to power, and therefore wealth and personal enrichment, which robs us, in a way, of our freedom," he said.

Previously, ANC leaders have admitted and spoken openly about corruption and the in-fighting plaguing the 103-year-old liberation movement.
