Mkhwebane wants broader state capture inquiry
Current Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane believes the commission of inquiry into state capture should include all state institutions and state-owned enterprises.
President Jacob Zuma announced the establishment of a judicial commission of inquiry on Monday.
The probe will be headed by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.
Spokesperson Cleopatra Mosana says the public protector believes a broader investigation will uncover the full extent of state capture in South Africa.

"In order to avoid any further allegations of state capture being lodged with office of the public protector, the public protector calls upon the president to ensure that the terms of reference for the commission of inquiry are not limited to the issues investigated or indentified in the State of Capture report," says Mosana.
Former public protector Thuli Madonsela, who released the State of Capture report, directed President Jacob Zuma to establish a commission of inquiry into allegations of state capture by the Gupta family.
