Corruption Watch | 31 January 2018 | In recent years South Africa has experienced several commissions of inquiry, set up by President Jacob Zuma to investigate important matters such as the arms deal. However, South Africans looking for some form of justice have been disappointed. The arms deal commission, particularly, was dismissed as a cover-up, and Corruption Watch and the Right2Know Campaign have challenged its findings in court.
Any real attempt to join the dots and truly understand the origins and legacy of economic crime in South Africa requires that we tell a longer story. This allows us to develop an understanding of the network behind these crimes. This network of corporations, politicians, spies, and bankers has morphed and changed, but its modus operandi has remained the same: when in doubt, break the law.
