A total of 187 accused persons have been taken to court in 32 state capture and corruption cases, and approximately R12.9 billion in funds and assets have been frozen.FIRST TAKE: Ramaphosa, at his wit's end, centralises power in his office – but myriad crises remain
We expect that 2023 will be a year of increased activity for the Investigating Directorate as it builds on the sterling work it has done so far.
