If you don\u2019t invest in the ANC, your business is in danger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight is [not only about the NGC] it is also to remind you that the ANC is a non-profit organisation,\u201d said Zuma to loud cheers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt [the ANC] makes no profit. But it is very huge. It is the biggest organisation in the country so just remember that this organisation that you are associated with is a non-profit making organisation which means that it is looking at you with a very interesting eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zuma said the country was what it was because of the ANC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember this organisation because it has created an environment which is conducive for everything to be done, including business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us work together, that is why more than ever before, you need to support the ruling party because it has very good policies and programmes. Remember that when you donate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need you now more than any other time now. When the treasurer general knocks at your door open your door widely. If he says support the ANC, take out your chequebook and tell him to write six figures],&#8221; said Zuma.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.news24.com\/SouthAfrica\/News\/Investing-in-ANC-a-wise-move-Zuma-20151009\" target=\"_blank\">News24<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on Zuma<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Jacob Zuma\u2019s new salary \u2013 R2.7 million\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/government\/78634\/jacob-zumas-new-salary-r2-7-million\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Jacob Zuma\u2019s new salary \u2013 R2.7 million<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Zuma to rule for a third term?\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/general\/99468\/zuma-to-rule-for-a-third-term\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Zuma to rule for a third term?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Zuma takes 79 officials on Russia trip\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/general\/98695\/zuma-takes-79-officials-on-russia-trip\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Zuma takes 79 officials on Russia trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Jacob Zuma on Thursday told guests at a gala dinner that investing in the ANC was a wise move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":96017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[1875,26,83],"class_list":["post-100758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government","tag-anc","tag-headline","tag-jacob-zuma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100758"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100760,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100758\/revisions\/100760"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
