Hanekom announced that there would be a weekend of action “to demonstrate anger against Covid-19 corruption” at the end of this monthHanekom welcomed the recent surge of arrests by the Special Investigating Unit and the Hawks of those suspected of looting Covid-19 funds. “We cannot allow those in powerful positions, along with their greedy friends in the private sector, to abuse our democracy. We cannot allow them to hide under the guise of championing transformation when in fact they steal from bellies of the poor,” Hanekom said.
