The Editor’s Desk: Why hasn’t the NPA sent the bad guys to jail yet?
DUBLIN — Cyril Ramaphosa has been President for almost exactly one year. His ascension to the presidency following Jacob Zuma's resignation was dramatic, and hopes were high that he could turn things around for South Africa. But one year later, despite several investigations and a host of apparent evidence of corruption, we have yet to see any major arrests or prosecutions of those responsible for robbing South Africa of billions. With the recent appointment of advocate Shamila Batohi to lead the National Prosecuting Authority, many South Africans are asking: "Why haven't you arrested anyone yet?" In this episode, Alec Hogg and I discuss the challenges that prosecutors face in bringing wrongdoers to justice and what to key steps to look out for. We also look at resurgent global markets and the role of recent Federal Reserve actions and discuss the latest results from Apple and Amazon. – Felicity Duncan
