While the private sector supports the NPA to prosecute the state capture culprits, government must also do its part.

Business is calling for consequences for the perpetrators of state capture fraud and corruption after reports last week that the National Prosecuting Authority is battling to access the evidence collected during the sittings of the Zondo commission.

“The department of justice, under Minister Ronald Lamola, did not provide full and complete access to the database. The department cited ‘administrative problems’ in providing access, but this issue has now been dragging on for years.” “This is bad for the country and bad for business. Business cannot be done if there are no consequences for fraud and corruption. Our wider society also suffers enormously.”

“The day after the meeting, amendments to the Electricity Regulation Act were signed into law by the president, marking yet another step forward in the major overhaul of the electricity system. The amended legislation enables the establishment of a competitive electricity market in which multiple suppliers can feed into the grid.”
