The arrest of a former cabinet minister is hopefully the first of many by the NPA
While South Africans have become frustrated with the pace at which the investigations are taking place and the lack of prosecutions of those who brought the state to its knees, the events of the past week are grounds for cautious optimism. The proof will however be in the pudding — when a guilty verdict is made.
The reality of state capture was that it brought the state to its knees, including law enforcement agencies tasked to maintain law and order. Rebuilding these institutions, like those in the rest of the state, is a daunting task.It is therefore not surprising that it is only now that the first politician — Bongo — has made his way to the dock eight months after Batohi took the reins at the NPA.
