Ramaphosa: The fight against corruption is gathering steam
As President Cyril Ramaphosa himself faces allegations of corruption, he decided to choose this as the topic for his weekly newsletter.
In the newsletter, he said they have been working hard for the past five years to end the looting of resources meant for the benefit of South Africa‘s people, to prosecute those responsible, and to recover stolen funds.
“When we embarked on this journey, we understood that the results would not be felt overnight.
“We first had to rebuild state institutions that had been deliberately weakened, emptied of expertise and rendered incapable of preventing capture by criminal elements. We had to strengthen law enforcement institutions and shield them from outside interference.”
