(Bloomberg) — South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said he'll implement sweeping reforms in response to recommendations by a judicial panel that probed corruption during his predecessor Jacob Zuma's calamitous rule.
The president undertook to review and redesign the country's entire anti-graft architecture, ban ministers from participating in procurement at state companies, introduce new laws regulating the issuing of government contracts and ensure whistle-blowers are better protected.
