Former South African Revenue Service (Sars) deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay says South Africa is at the beginning in the fight against State capture. He says there is still a long way to go.
"We are past the point where we can make airy fairy speeches and bombastic language just to impress people. It has to be granular. What will be fixed, what part, where will we start, where will be the sequence, what will be the resources we will need, how long will we take?" he said.
While the public has the right to vote, he says that it seems as through the electoral system makes it easier for the parties to have such power that MPs are more loyal to their political parties than to the constitution.
"Our participation in democracy should be more than voting. We’ve got to find ways in which the public can be involved in the whole value chain in understanding what’s going wrong, what should be done. there must be ways in which people can participate in all of that to enrich our democracy," he said.
