Durban — South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the nation, on Sunday, in response to the recommendations of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector including organs of state.
The commission, which was led by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, was established as part of the remedial action contained in the report of the Public Protector released on November 2, 2016.
Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said in line with the remedial action contained in the Public Protector’s report and as required by the ruling of the Gauteng High Court on February 23, 2022, “Ramaphosa has outlined his intentions with regards to the implementation of the commission’s recommendations”.
Magwenya said the 76-page document sets out the approach to the commission’s findings and recommendations, the methodology for developing the response plan and the implementation of the response.
“The president’s response outlines the steps the government is taking to implement the commission’s recommendations with respect to actions against the perpetrators of state capture and reforms to prevent future occurrence of state capture, as well as broader systemic reforms arising from the work of the commission,” he said.
Magwenya said the president would shortly be making the response public. He added that the details of the document would be announced in due course.
