Never again! Ramaphosa's plan to "end state capture"

Loading player...
Our president has laid out his implementation plan to “forever bring an end to state capture in our country”. Cyril Ramaphosa calls the caboodle of corruption perpetrated in South Africa over many years a crime against its people. He addressed the nation on Sunday evening just a day after former head of state Jacob Zuma launched a pre-emptive and rather conveniently timed attack on the embattled Ramaphosa calling him corrupt and guilty of treason. Strong words from Zuma, a convicted criminal who faces a host of corruption charges in a trial, which has been almost two decades in the making. A trial he has thrown everything – including the Nkandla sink at – to make sure it never gets off the ground. BizNews correspondent Michael Appel takes a look at some of the measures contained in Ramaphosa's implementation plan to battle state capture. Learn more about your ad choices.
