President unclear on graft

“More talk, less action” is how one can summarise the state capture implementation plan speech by President Cyril Ramaphosa. It is difficult to feel optimistic that corruption is going to end anytime soon. No clear commitments or timelines.

The president is a timid leader and is afraid of criticism. We waited with bated breath for the president to fire all ministers who must face prosecution as recommended by the commission.

That would be a right step towards fulfilling his promise to eradicate corruption, and give law enforcement agencies the courage to take action.
