In his recent State Of The Nation Address, President Cyril Ramaphosa admitted that the Zondo Commission has exposed a weak and compromised criminal justice system. Ramaphosa went on to point out that the newest hotbed of corruption, that of Covid-19 procurement, had been decisively dealt with by a ‘fusion centre’ of key law enforcement agencies. Paul Hoffman argues that the planned appointment of a National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council will slow the wheels of justice even further. Hoffman suggests that the council should not be necessary and that the fight against corruption should be led by the Constitutional Court. He adds that the criteria for effective anti-corruption bodies have already been laid out and that no statutory body can uphold them, as long as a simple majority vote in parliament can threaten it’s existence. – Melani Nathan
