We all know that South Africans do not trust government anymore, but their trust could be restored if we see our justice system work.
The annual Edelman Trust Barometer shows that South Africans trust business more than government. The gap between trust in government and trust in business is the largest in the world, with a trust rating for business of 62 out of 100, while government is rated at only 29.
Mavuso says the growth in public confidence in partnership between business and government reflects the successes since Covid to deliver positive change for the public by working together. “The evidence is clear to see that when business and government combine their strengths, the public benefits.” She says Jooste’s death will also certainly influence public opinion. “I am sure many people will be frustrated that Jooste will now never have his day in court to answer to the crimes he is alleged to have committed in the biggest corporate fraud in South African history. The investigation into other people connected to Steinhoff is ongoing and I expect they will be in court soon.”
