President Cyril Ramaphosa says he will step up anti-corruption measures against the private sector, with corrupt businesses relationships partly responsible for the deterioration of service delivery in the country.
Writing in his weekly letter to the republic, the president said winning the government’s war on corruption will be difficult, and that it will take time to unravel the vast webs of patronage that had become entrenched.
“These corrupt relationships have eroded the capacity of the state to deliver on its mandate. They have set back the state’s efforts to provide decent healthcare, to deliver clean water, and to ensure a consistent supply of power to communities and businesses.” The tribunal adjudicates on matters that the SIU institutes for civil litigation after it has concluded its investigations and was set up to speed up litigation, he said.
Since its establishment, the Special Tribunal has recovered around R8.6 billion from unlawful contracts, he said.
