Editorial | Let’s all rise up to fight graft: Because we have become such a violent nation, many murders do not even get reported in the media any more

Last week, Buhlungu’s car fell under a fusillade of bullets, apparently from assassins who thought he was inside. In the shooting, which took place outside Buhlungu’s official residence in Alice, his bodyguard, Mboneli Vesele, was killed.

Because we have become such a violent nation, many murders do not even get reported in the media any more. The victims become statistics captured in some government documents, to be kept for posterity.It takes a high-profile murder, such as that of whistleblower Babita Deokaran, to jolt the nation back into momentary shock. Deokaran was murdered in August 2021 after she had blown the whistle on murky financial shenanigans in the Gauteng health department, which is where she worked.

Buhlungu assumed his post in 2017, and, in 2021, the university received its first clean audit in 30 years. However, his clean up does not sit well with some. University fleet manager Petrus Roets was killed in a suspected hit last year. Last March, a man carrying a gun was captured on CCTV footage, climbing over a wall and firing three shots at the entrance to Buhlungu’s house.

The violence that has greeted Buhlungu’s attempts to root out graft and malfeasance is reflective of how deep the tentacles of corruption reach into South African society.For us as a nation to turn the corner, we need to stand up and support all moves aimed at rooting out corruption in whatever form. There are ways of reporting these without exposing ourselves to danger. We can do it. We have to do the right thing, for our children’s and grandchildren’s future.

EFF to oppose Ramaphosa's bid to review and set aside Phala Phala report | City PressThe EFF has officially lodged an application for leave to be admitted as an intervening party in the Phala Phala report saga, which President Cyril Ramaphosa has taken for review in the Constitutional Court. Doing better than mabhantiti ( abafazi basejele u Gayton no Kenny ), arrested for fraud. Made wives in prison. Come out of prison thinking that they're tough guys now. First pay back vbs money then we trust them... When they answer for VBS looting and other tenders for self benefit.. then they should have a right to point fingers when someone's own money is stolen.
