Where is the Transnet loot and why hasn’t it been recovered? Given the government’s recently announced austerity measures targeting social spending, this question demands an urgent answer.
The noose seems to be tightening around those implicated in state capture and corruption over the years with the arrests of high-profile executives who were once at the helm of hollowed out state-owned entities.
Zondo says break-in will not intimidate commission
The Zondo commission will not be intimidated by anybody trying to prevent it from completing its work properly, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo said on Monday, after confirming its offices were broken into days after a bullet was fired into the building.
Zondo said it was not clear whether the burglary and an incident a week earlier, on the weekend of April 10 and 11, in which a shot was fired into the Braamfontein premises housing the commission were “ordinary criminality” or something more sinister.
Commission spokesman Reverend Mbuyiselo Stemela has confirmed that two computers were stolen in the break-in, which was discovered on Sunday morning. The burglary happened in the early hours of the morning.
