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.
