After three years of public hearings and with a price tag of over a billion Rand, Justice R.M.M. Zondo, the Acting Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa, handed the fifth and sixth parts of the report on state capture and corruption during the presidency of Jacob Zuma, to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In October 2020, we focused on ethics and delivered a series of webinars to discuss the ethical challenges currently facing the chartered accountancy and auditing professions and come up with solutions to these challenges. During a particular focus on ethics in the public sector, I shared that the professional body has noted an increase in the number of member complaints about intimidation threats.

In spite of Cyril Ramaphosa’s ‘new dawn’, there are powerful forces in the ruling party that risk losing everything if corruption and state capture finally do come to an end. At the centre of the old guard’s fightback efforts is Ace Magashule, a man viewed by some as South Africa’s most dangerous politician.
