As the world on Friday marked International Anti-Corruption Day, experts said graft remained rampant in South Africa – despite the election of President Cyril Ramaphosa on an anti-corruption ticket – with Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse CEO Wayne Duvenage, saying it could not be commemorated in the same manner as the fall of apartheid.
“Some good work has indeed been carried out on Brian Molefe, Ace Magashule, Mosebenzi Zwane, but that is far too little, given the gravity of the accusations and evidence that has been provided,” said Duvenage.On where the glitches lied, Duvenage cited “lack of capacity and skills – a mindset of overcomplicating matters and cases”.
