Former public protector Thuli Madonsela says the Zondo commission is yet to answer the question of whether the state was hijacked by the Gupta family under the presidency of Jacob Zuma.

She used cadre deployment in China to support her argument that the state was hijacked.

“If you look at China as a country, they have cadre deployment. What does it mean? It means deploy the best in the party, people who have been trained in statecraft, the best of them. In fact, if you fail, in the past you literally killed yourself because you couldn't go home because of a sense of shame.

“So those who went into the public service, why China has become a global giant, is because of cadre deployment. I am not for or against, but I am saying state capture, as we saw it, was about the family of president Zuma having gone into business with the Gupta family, and the power given to Zuma by the people of SA being hijacked and repurposed to advance the business interest of these two families.

Madonsela suggested strengthened oversight of the government by the public and parliament to avoid another state capture disaster.He expressed dissatisfaction at the decrease in the number of times the president is called to parliament to answer oral questions by MPs and lambasted the presiding officers for allowing ministers to avoid questions by their fellow MPs.

Solly Moeng | The Zondo Commission's report is out - now what? | Fin24The year 2024 will present an excellent opportunity to South Africans to start the process to save their country from what is gradually becoming an unstoppable tsunami of political, economic, social, reputational, and infrastructural destruction, says Solly Moeng. Nothing. All this country ever does is have inquiries, investigations and reviews. Then the inevitable statements expressing “shock and anger” follow and that’s where it ends. There is never accountability or justice. What’s next? Probably a commission to investigate as to why there was a commission. katzy96 I never thought of meeting a legit bitcoin trader after been scammed many times at my age but the heavens sent williamchurch09 guided me and help me make a living through bitcoin with my coinbase app, I recommend you to meet him now and also be a beneficiary of good work
