Lamola says government noting Zondo’s advice on permanent anti-graft body: The minister said it was not true that the Investigating Directorate had been “slumbering”
can be morphed into a permanent anti-corruption structure, Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola said on Tuesday.
Lamola said it was not fair to suggest that the entity “has been slumbering”; it faced constraints, and these must be addressed with a view to allowing the ID to evolve into a permanent, sustainable structure. He said the ID must be given the support to respond to the findings of the Zondo commission in terms of further investigation and prosecution.
“In their own words, advocate Shamila Bathoi and her deputy, Anton du Plesiss, have said that we are nearing a moment of high level prosecutions being executed without fear or favour. We shouldn’t second guess them, they are better placed than all of us to tell no lies and claim no easy victories.” She noted that in many instances of grand corruption, cases were opened with the police years ago and said the ID should have brought these to the courts in no more than a year.
