State capture did not end of its own accord. It was brought to an end by the concerted actions of South Africans from all walks of life, working in various areas to restore the values of our constitutional democracy. https://t.co/0l798AJydF https://t.co/dm1sS2kxVa — PolitiTweet.org

The progress that has been made over the last two-and-a-half years should, I hope, stand as testament to my commitment and the commitment of this administration to deal decisively with corruption and state capture. https://t.co/h66OUVk0E2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is just, correct and necessary that they face the consequences of their actions. Having born witness to the crimes of state capture, the worst thing we can do is to allow it to ever happen again. https://t.co/h66OUVk0E2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While there have been certainly been systemic failures, governance lapses and errors, the fundamental reality is that state capture happened because certain individuals each made a deliberate decision to engage in acts of corruption and criminality. https://t.co/h66OUVk0E2 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The experience has also shown that within our state owned entities, within our public service, within Parliament, legislatures and councils there are women and men of integrity and capability – https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They have shown the value of our Constitution, the institutions that support our democracy, our independent judiciary, our free media, our vibrant civil society and our active citizenry. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And in so doing, they demonstrated that despite the damage caused by state capture, our democracy remains robust and resilient. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org

many of whom marched in the streets of our country protesting against corruption and demanding clean government. — PolitiTweet.org

It is important to acknowledge that we would not have reached this point – that this Commission would not be sitting now – had it not been for the determined actions of the South African people, https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The work of this Commission will help us to make a clear and decisive break with the corrupt practices that have cost our country so much. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org

The people of South Africa look to this Commission to uncover the truth, to identify those responsible, and to recommend measures that will prevent it from happening again. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
State capture has damaged people’s confidence in the rule of law, in public institutions, in law enforcement agencies and, even to some extent, in the democratic process. That is what makes the work of this Commission so essential. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Perhaps the most devastating and lasting cost of state capture and corruption is its effect on the confidence of the South African people in the leaders and officials in whom they placed great trust and responsibility. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By weakening our security services and law enforcement agencies, the actions associated with state capture placed the security and integrity of our country at risk. https://t.co/h66OUV2pfs — PolitiTweet.org
