House Chair, the introduction of several measures by the President of South Africa and various members of the executive to eradicate poor
governance, state-capture and corruption is welcomed, but the FF Plus is however concerned.
While the State Capture Commission of Inquiry dealt deeper into the web of capture, sourcing the culprits between factional battles, those who are most affected by the crimes are being sidelined. The deepening levels of inequality, poverty and unemployment caused by contemporary sate capture should be kept in mind when investigating and prosecuting the crimes of powerful politicians, private individuals and co-operations, as this has become real reason for economic disempowerment in South Africa.
Our future is being expropriated without compensation. The Special Investigating Unit, SIU, and other law- enforcement agencies are underfunded, undercapacitated and delayed. Selected high profile cases are often the focus, while other complaints are ignored with the detrimental effects on service delivery. This can't be right.
The abbreviation ANC has become an acronym for absolute no consequence. The executive should be held accountable. Thank you, Chair.
