Outa: Those implicated in state capture report must be prosecuted
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says every individual implicated in corruption and state capture needs to be held accountable.
It's been reacting to the findings of the second volume of the State Capture report released on Tuesday.
The report details allegations of corruption at Denel and Transnet.
It found that at Transnet, former president Jacob Zuma smoothed the way for the Gupta family to capture Transnet.
The report says R41.2 billion in contracts were irregularly awarded for the benefit of entities linked to the Guptas.
Outa’s Wayne Duvenage says the evidence has been provided and now it's time for prosecutions to follow.
"So if the picture is so clear and yet we wonder why we are taking so long.
"We hope now the commission has finished its report. This evidence is there, we have to see accountability because that is what gives people hope in this country.
"Without people being held accountable, we lose hope because out criminal justice system is letting us down.”
