The Zondo report on state capture shows Lindiwe Sisulu is wrong about the constitution.

In part 1 of his report on state capture, acting chief justice Raymond Zondo explains that his inquiry"was motivated by a desire to understand the weakness within the public sector that makes it vulnerable to state capture, corruption and fraud".

But a growing body of research suggests that labelling all people in this way is an oversimplification. Some are motivated also by higher-order values such as altruism and meaningful work. On this count, consider the"resistors" in Zondo’s report — those who refused to be bystanders or followers of corrupt leaders.Again, the field of behavioural economics is illuminating. There seems to be only a small percentage of people who are almost always ethical, or almost always unethical.

An incoming Eskom board ratified a R43m contract via round robin just a couple of months after the entity had been given R23bn in government support. The distribution of the ambiguously drafted resolution for ratification had not even been accompanied by a copy of the contract. The problem is that Sisulu is asking the wrong question. The law is only given substance and animation through its application. As the US jurist Earl Warren once stated:"In civilised life, law floats in a sea of ethics."

TONY LEON | Instead of playing the blame game, Sisulu should check the factsLindiwe Sisulu’s attack on SA’s judiciary is a hollow deflection of her government’s idleness and lack of work ethic She said what she said!!! Because is protecting you your minority group, we need a transformed judiciary to benefit the majority of this country. Well done Minister Sisulu say it again we are behind you Oh! “Fact check” is a modern euphemism for “shut your trap”. Ironically it’s those that cannot sustain an argument for its weakness and absence of facts that tend to invoke “fact checking”.
