Implicated persons in the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption, and Fraud in the Public Sector – better known as the Zondo Commission – are on tenterhooks.
More revelations about who else had their hands in the cookie jar are expected Tuesday when the Presidency will receive Part Two of the Zondo Commission report.
Part One was a shocker in which several prominent people were implicated and their roles exposed as to how they stole money from state-owned enterprises.
So blatant and massive were the thefts, the report even carried a proviso urging law enforcement agencies to take swift and appropriate action.
“The Presidency will tomorrow, Tuesday 1 February 2022, formally receive the second part of the report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption, and Fraud in the Public Sector,” said a statement issued by the Presidency.
“The Presidency will publish this part of the report shortly after it is presented to the Director-General in the Presidency Ms. Phindile Baleni by the Secretary of the Commission Professor Itumeleng Mosala.”
The acting chief justice and commission chairperson, Raymond Zondo, presented Part One of the report to President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Union Buildings, Pretoria, on 4 January 2022.
The third and final part of the report is due to be submitted to the President by 28 February 2022.
“As required by a ruling of the Gauteng High Court on 28 December 2021 – and in line with the remedial action contained in the Public Protector’s report dated October 2016 – the President will submit the full Commission report to Parliament by the 30 June 2022 with an indication of his intentions with regards to implementation of the Commission’s recommendations,” said the Presidency.
