NATIONAL NEWS - Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says she’s disappointed that those implicated in state capture have not been held to account nine months after the release of a report.
The State of Capture report reveals alleged improper and unethical conduct by politicians and businesses.
Madonsela recommended before her exit that a commission of inquiry into state capture be instituted, headed by a judge chosen by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
She was speaking at a South African Jewish Board of Deputies conference in Sandton on Sunday.
President Jacob Zuma recently committed himself to instituting a commission of inquiry into state capture. However, he also launched a legal challenge against the report’s recommendations, saying that they interfere with his executive powers.
Madonsela says she thought government would react quicker to the report.
