How world sees SA: Corruption breakthrough, as ANC bigwig arrested for murder!
EDINBURGH — Many South Africans have expressed frustration at the slow pace the police are taking in bringing the corrupt and captured to court to face charges. But the international correspondent for The New York Times has taken note of an important development in KwaZulu-Natal, a province riven with violence-fuelled political feuds. Norimitsu Onishi reports on the arrest of Mluleki Ndobe, described as one of the most influential members of the ANC in the province, for the mafia-style murder of a whistleblower. Twitter is buzzing with the news, with commentators noting that the Harry Gwala municipality mayor is number three on the provincial list of election candidates. The message to investors from Ndobe's arrest is that President Cyril Ramaphosa's directive to law enforcement agencies to take action against graft is starting to bear fruit. – Jackie Cameron
