“Throughout this long, painstaking legal process and impediments thrown our way, we remained resilient, undeterred and resolute in our commitment to leave no stone unturned to fight against corruption and state capture,” Nzimande said. The SCA, in November 2018, agreed that “the tender was procured through corruption” and that Prasa’s specifications for the new locomotives were “tailor-made for the benefit of Vossloh, and thus Swifambo”.
Nzimande said that this decision confirmed that South Africa was a constitutional state where justice was guaranteed in support of democracy.
