The Citizen reports that Cosatu expressed the hope on Monday that “the robber barons, swindlers and their enablers” of state capture would be exposed and sent to jail at the conclusion of the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture.
The commission began its work in Johannesburg on Monday. The inquiry will centre on the role of the Gupta family as well as President Jacob Zuma and other officials in enabling the family to siphon funds from the state and state-owned enterprises by corrupt means. Billions of rands in illegal contracts with SOEs were exposed through the Guptaleaks emails obtained from computers owned by companies linked to the controversial family. Cosatu said in a statement that the commencement of the commission was long overdue. “The people of South Africa deserve some answers and clarity about the economic vandalism that has happened over the last couple of years,” said Cosatu national spokesperson, Sizwe Pamla.
