In his 2018 Sona, Ramaphosa said he was set on building ‘a society defined by decency and integrity, that does not tolerate the plunder of public resources or theft by corporate criminals’
President Cyril Ramaphosa has reiterated that the only way to turn the tide on corruption is by strengthening law-enforcement institutions and shielding them from external interference or manipulation.
The special tribunal was a court dedicated to proceedings arising from SIU investigations and this strategy of combining investigations with civil litigation had enabled the SIU and the Special Tribunal to recover stolen money. “Since its establishment, the ID has been preparing several cases of serious corruption, including those emanating from the state capture commission, for trial. This forms part of the NPA’s priority plan to deal with state capture and high-level corruption.”
As announced in his Sona last week, Ramaphosa said the government was about to take another important step forward by making the ID a permanent entity within the NPA, so it could strengthen its collaboration with other entities in the criminal justice system and enrol more cases in the courts. He added that his team expected 2023 to be a year of increased activity for the ID as it built on the work it has done so far.
