State Capture will go down as one of the major corruption and maladministration scandals in the history of democratic South Africa, under the government led by the African National Congress.
corrupt practices had continued to affect South Africa after the pandemic, and for the last decade the government had failed in its efforts to make real inroads against the root causes of corruption. Corruption Watch pointed a finger at a leadership crisis in which politicians and administrators serve their personal, factional and private interests, rather than the interests of the people or the Constitution. Right there, a nail hit on the head.
One hopes that the President’s own woes are just a temporary fork in the road and he will deliver South Africa to the promised land of a corruption-free society, characterised by a heavy emphasis on liability and accountability. In his endeavour to implement the recommendations of the Zondo report, hoping that his government and political nemeses rally behind him for the public good, he will need help and advice.
? Ramaphosa has indicated that he will forward the report to Parliament with an indication of what needs to be done regarding the implementation of its recommendations. There is an expected to-do plan from the President in the next 4½ months.
There is going to be a drawn-out process to reach the prosecution stage of the State Capture backlog. Arguably, the DPA practice is closely related to out-of-court settlements, which are not used in the South African criminal justice system.the pros and cons of deferred prosecution agreements must still be taken into account.: The NPA and law enforcement agencies must speed up and intensify investigations as it was proposed and/or recommended by Zondo in Part Two to Part Four.
