The characteristics of the body required by the Court include specialisation, training for expertise in anti-corruption work, independence in structure and operations, guaranteed resources and secure tenure of office. "They are all currently conspicuously absent."

"The ANC must ensure that South Africa does not become a mafia state because once you reach that state, all the wheels have come off." - Cyril Ramaphosa, 2017.

While Mkhwanazi’s complaints don’t come as a huge surprise, the information now in the public domain raises serious questions about the failure to comply with the Con. Court’s instruction to establish a body independent of executive control to effectively combat corruption.

"If adequate independence had been accorded to the criminal justice administration’s anti-corruption machinery, it is doubtful that the complaints now made by Mkhwanazi would have seen the light of day because they would not have arisen."

Surprise, surprise. ANC - African National Congress Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦

At the core of Mkhwanazi's complaint is that corruption is going unaddressed in the system as it functions at the moment, says Paul Hoffman. "What is required is a body outside executive control to take charge of allegations of the entire phenomenon of corruption, including

"There’s nothing magical or praiseworthy about Mchunu being placed on special leave - he’d already asked for it himself." The move is one that is reactive, not reformative. What South Africa needs is structural change.

A 2011 majority judgment required a single, independent anti-corruption body, free from executive control. 13 years later, it’s still not in place - and the consequences are clear: corruption thrives, accountability is rare, and impunity reigns.

The South African criminal justice system needs structural reform. Urgently.

"The vast breadth of the mandate given to the commission of inquiry headed by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga will keep it busy for years, doing work a functioning criminal justice administration should do itself."

"The ANC government has chosen to ignore/avoid properly implementing the decision of the Constitutional Court which ruled that a body outside the control of the cabinet should be created in South Africa to deal effectively with corruption."

It should not take the Commission of Inquiry "as long as 3 months to work out that the structure and functioning of the anti-corruption machinery of state do not measure up to the standards set by the Constitutional Court in the Glenister litigation."

The first and most urgent work of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is to identify the reasons why the structure and the functioning of the anti-corruption machinery of state do not measure up to the standards set by the Constitutional Court. They are not hard to find.

The strategy and tactics of the ANC are aimed at securing what it calls hegemonic control of all the levers of power in society. The anti-corruption entities are important levers of power that are in the hands of the executive via the ministries of police and justice.
