In 2020, the ANC NEC called upon cabinet to establish an independent and specialist body to counter corruption. 4 years later and the proposal to locate the Investigating Directorate within the NPA is a far cry from the institutional renewal needed. accountabilitynow.org.za/letter-anc-in-…

Commenting on Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s decision to take special leave, @PaulHoffmanSC says, "The only purpose of taking ‘special leave’ now is to see to it that the long suffering tax-payers of SA continue to pay her salary”. Full @eNCA interview: accountabilitynow.org.za/accountability…
Controversy and Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula go hand-in-hand, says @PaulHoffmanSC. “Right from Travelgate onwards, she has courted controversy and has been the butt of serious allegations of wrongdoing. The Gupta landing at Waterkloof air base happened on her watch”.

Nail on head. Corruption is quite simply the source of most pressing issues that plague the people of South Africa right now. What say you, Mr President @CyrilRamaphosa?

"Our lane" is holding politicians accountable. Sorry if it upsets you, but if there was no corruption, tax abuse and incompetence in governance, we wouldn't need to exist.
@OUTASA Stick to your lane and leave politics to the political parties. If you want to venture into politics, stop pretending and register to contest elections.
SA spends more on its public servants, as a proportion of total government expenditure, than Australia, Canada, the US, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Now compare service delivery of these countries with what we have to accept...

@Accountnow_SA @PaulHoffmanSC Too few people grasp this topic or are interested in it. But the greylisting of SA is a direct consequence of the govt's failure to address corruption, and the greylisting is what is weakening the Rand.

@Accountnow_SA I agree. Section 3(4)(d) of the @RSASIU Act states that “the President may at any time remove the Head of a Special Investigating Unit from office if there are sound reasons for doing so.” This alone goes against the Glenister @ConCourtSA judgment
@Accountnow_SA This could not be more important.
