Which ANC leaders will stand trial for state capture? Viewing the lineup – De Vos, Du Preez

The Zondo Commission into State Capture has resumed with renewed vigour and a promise to streamline proceedings in the ten months left of its mandate. At the re-opening of the commission, Judge Raymond Zondo indicated that he was going to ask members of Parliament what they did to prevent state capture and there was a warning to corrupt officials that they should stop putting their careers first. But what South Africans want to know is: when are we going to see people in orange onesies and when are those who are toying with the commission going to be held to account? Constitutional law expert Professor Pierre de Vos and journalist and editor Max du Preez, known to be like pit bull when it comes to uncovering the truth, told the BizNews Midweek Catchup webinar that there is enough evidence to prosecute some big fish for state capture. They also weigh in on how long they think Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane will remain her position. – Linda van Tilburg

The Zondo Commission into State Capture may have dug up truths of how those in power abused state resources since it commenced in August 2018, but there are doubts whether the evidence that Mr Justice Raymond Zondo unearths could actually lead to successful prosecutions.
