OPINIONISTA: Where Eagles Dare: How to fight grand corruption By Paul Hoffman PaulHoffmanSC
It is no panacea to give anti-corruption work to the NPA or to the Anti-Corruption Task Team, an abomination of an organisation which has no statutory or constitutional mandate and appears to have been brought into existence by Zuma to manage grand corruption in a way that ensured that no one important was ever held to account.
How then is the new entity to enjoy the security of tenure of office in the manner contemplated by the courts? How, in short, is it to be insulated from suffering the same fate as the Scorpions? By taking on, after careful vetting, the best of the talent available in the NPA and the Hawks, it will be possible to kick-start the anti-corruption work of the State far more quickly than would be the case should the government opt to re-capacitate the NPA and the Hawks.

OPINIONISTA: Money is the unfair advantage in the business of using law to seek justiceLast week a full Bench of the High Court dismissed former president Jacob Zuma’s attempt to appeal their ruling that he was not entitled to receive state funding for his criminal defence.
