Government is working towards an SOE ownership model that clearly separates the responsibilities of ownership, policy development and regulation. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To this end, Cabinet has established the Presidential State-Owned Enterprises Council to reposition SOEs as effective instruments of economic development through stronger oversight and strategic management. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Government envisages a fundamental overhaul of the state-owned enterprises model that addresses not only the deficiencies that permitted widespread corruption, but that also enables these companies to effectively fulfil their social and economic mandates in a sustainable manner. — PolitiTweet.org

As has been made plain in this Commission, our Intelligence Services are in dire need of attention. To this end the implementation of the recommendations of the High Level Review Panel chaired by Dr Sydney Mufamadi is at an advanced stage. — PolitiTweet.org

The SIU Tribunal started its work in October 2019 and since it started its work has shown its value in recouping monies wrongfully taken from state coffers. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This has been supplemented by the work of the Fusion Centre, where all relevant law enforcement entities share information and support each other in investigating these kinds of corruption. Discussions of how to institutionalise this form of cooperation are under way. — PolitiTweet.org

Other areas of progress include the work that the NPA’s Asset Forfeiture Unit has done recovering the proceeds of economic crimes, recapacitating the NPA with more qualified personnel, and changes in leadership of entities such the Public Investment Corporation. — PolitiTweet.org

This was the first time an NDPP was appointed in such a manner, which did much to restore the confidence of South Africans in the institution. We have established the Investigating Directorate in the office of the NDPP to work on high profile complex cases of corruption & fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

I therefore decided that the appointment of the new National Director of Public Prosecutions should be undertaken through a public and transparent process. — PolitiTweet.org

As this Commission has heard, law enforcement agencies were deliberately weakened to limit their ability to act against those involved in corruption and state capture. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
One of the critical projects currently underway to strengthen the state involves the professionalisation of the public service. This aims to ensure that the public service is shorn of political partisanship and that the most qualified individuals enter its ranks. — PolitiTweet.org
