Bain & Company - found by two commissions of inquiry to have been implicated in state capture - has been banned for three years from tendering for any public sector work by the UK government for "grave professional misconduct" in South Africa. Former UK cabinet minister Lord Peter Hain has been leading the charge against the global consultancy firm in the corridors of power abroad.
