The Zondo Commission provided a window through which the public can see into the dirty secrets of the ANC during its worst decade in power
, Jacob Zuma, to set up a commission that would investigate how he allowed state capture to happen.
Should the country despair though? The National Prosecuting Authority has been at pains in the past month to assure the public that it has been beefing up certain areas in its structures to now start prosecuting those who have been fingered by Zondo’s commission. But the country should not despair, whether or not successful prosecutions eventually happen. The commission might have unearthed convoluted schemes that were set up to suck the Treasury dry but its mere setting up was a masterstroke.
And the chief justice asked that one question that every voter should be asking when they next go to the polls: Where was the ANC during state capture? The answer is a simple one, they were on the other side of the window that the public was meant to be seeing through.
