Parliament may see a shake-up in 2024, but will its culture change?

Independents would be a shake-up. For the first time in 30 years of South Africa’s constitutional democracy, a member of Parliament may not be beholden to a political party for a seat. That may take some getting used to.

State Capture Commission report: R2K supports the call for the creation of an Anti-Corruption Agency!

The Right2Know Campaign welcomes and commends President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to publicly release Part 1 of the State Capture Commission report. It is encouraging to learn that the President finally recognises the importance of transparency and openness in running a just government. As an organisation, we have brought together communities and causes from across society who want not only to stop the South African Protection of State Information Bill known as the Secrecy Bill but fight for broader openness in our society. And 12 years later, we are slowly seeing the results.  It is important that we should keep reminding politicians that a transparent government is an essential element of a free and democratic society. We call on the citizens who have not yet read the report to take time and go through it as it will deepen their understanding of the current crisis we face as a country.

Spooks' slush money also touched the media


First published in the Daily Maverick 168 weekly newspaper.
One of the oft-used truisms is that trust takes a long time to build but only a few seconds to break. Regaining lost trust can be a lifelong and elusive mission.
One was reminded of these words as sensational revelations emerged from the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture this week.
These relate to claims by former minister Sydney Mufamadi – further corroborated by the acting director-general for the State Security Agency (SSA) Loyiso Jafta – that billions of rands of taxpayers’ money were not only misused for rogue “special operations” but also that millions were spent in an attempt to influence the media.
