Guptas and spies: Zondo commission celebrates its 1st birthday
Updated | By Lulutho Mkosi
Tuesday marked exactly one year since the commission of inquiry into state capture began its work in Parktown, north of Johannesburg.
The daily revelations of tender fraud, corruption and exchange of money, not to mention allegations of spying and various other political shenanigans, have left South Africans reeling.
Political analyst Levy Ndou says the commission has brought to light potentially corrupt individuals who were flying under the radar up until now.
Listen Below:
Ndou says the highlights of the commission include testimonies by former Bosasa executive Angelo Agrizzi and former president Jacob Zuma.
There seems to be a general agreement that the commission has so far been effective in exposing aspects of state capture.
The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution’s (Casac) Lawson Naidoo says the hearings have provided the public with the necessary information.
“We have now learnt in the past year the nature and the extent of state capture and those who have been complicit in undermining the democratic state in South Africa.”
