ANA reports that the United National Transport Union (Untu) on Wednesday applauded the suspension and resignation of top executives at state-owned enterprises (SOEs) after they were implicated in corruption in recent months, but bemoaned that none had yet been prosecuted.
In a statement, Untu noted that Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan two months ago said that the prosecution of corrupt SOE officials was imminent. The union’s general secretary Steve Harris said: “Although the leadership of Untu is grateful for any steps to rid our SOEs of the claws of state capture, we are concerned that the South African Police Service and the National Prosecuting Authority do not seem to be playing their part.” Harris said he agreed with Minister Gordhan that corruption was a cancer eating SA society and went on to state: “It is of utmost importance that those who allegedly benefited from money that was meant to improve our country for everyone who lives in it must be held accountable. They must be criminally charged so that the law can take its course.”
