The union says it is concerned that the SAPS and the NPA do not seem to be playing their part.
The United National Transport Union on Wednesday applauded the suspension and resignation of top executives at state-owned enterprises in recent months after being implicated in corruption, but bemoaned that none had yet been prosecuted.
The union’s general secretary Steve Harris said: “Although the leadership of UNTU is grateful for any steps to rid our SOEs of the claws of state capture, we are concerned that the South African Police Service and the National Prosecuting Authority do not seem to be playing their part.” Similarly, it had been four years since officials at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa had been accused of corruption, but none had been criminally charged to date. In the same vein, nothing had happened to more than 2,000 employees of state power utility Eskom implicated in irregularities during lifestyle audits.
