Former Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo, says he is doubtful whether Parliament had put in place measures to prevent corruption from taking place, as per the recommendations from the Zondo commission. He delivered the keynote address at the four day 15th Commonwealth Regional conference for heads of Anti Corruption Agencies in Africa, taking place in Cape Town. Zondo chaired the commission of inquiry into state capture, from 2018 to 2022. Among others, the commission found that Parliament failed in its duty to effectively hold the executive accountable during the period of state capture. Addressing delegates today, Zondo reflected on whether the country's fight against corruption is better than before the commission or not. He added that he is doubtful whether Parliament has made progress to introduce measures to strengthen anti corruption systems... Zalene Merrington reports

Le 27 avril 1994, tous les Sud-Africains étaient appelés à participer aux premières élections libres. Nelson Mandela allait être élu, mettant fin au régime d'apartheid. Une nouvelle Constitution serait ensuite écrite, protectrice de tous les Sud-Africains et présentée comme la plus progressiste du continent africain. La loi fondamentale est protégée par la Cour constitutionnelle, un monument important au centre de Johannesburg et dans le cœur de ses habitants. De notre correspondant à Johannesburg,C'est journée porte ouverte à la Cour constitutionnelle. Un groupe scolaire venu de Soweto, encadré par le Bukho Bami Youth Centre, prend place sur les bancs de la Cour. Les adolescents s'amusent à imiter les juges. Leur professeur appelle au calme et interroge ses élèves. L'un d'eux, Kamogelo Selemela, connaît très bien le rôle de la Cour constitutionnelle, même le nom de son président. « Si le gouvernement veut ajouter une loi à notre Constitution, il doit passer par les juges, comme Raymond Zondo. Et ils ne doivent pas seulement écouter le gouvernement, mais ils doivent aussi regarder les intérêts des citoyens Sud-Africains. »Ses camarades l'applaudissent en claquant des doigts. Son professeur, Daluxolo Magamdela, y voit un rapport particulier des Sud-Africains avec la politique. « Pour eux comme pour les Sud-Africains, la politique joue un rôle très important dans leur vie, donc même de manière inconsciente, ils savent qui dit ça et qui fait quoi. » Un lieu symboliqueLa Cour constitutionnelle a été construite sur le site d'une ancienne prison où ont été brièvement incarcérés Mahatma Gandhi et Nelson Mandela. « Du pire peut naître le meilleur », souligne Lorraine Mhlari, guide touristique. « La Cour a été construite ici pour la rendre accessible et ouverte à tous. C'est un lieu de transparence pour montrer qu'il n'y a rien à cacher dans notre Constitution. »La Cour constitutionnelle a beaucoup fait parler d'elle quand elle a condamné l'ancien président Jacob Zuma à 15 mois de prison pour outrage à la justice en juin 2021. Ce jugement était un signe d'indépendance, rappelle Lesego More, de la fondation Democracy Works. « Notre Cour constitutionnelle peut être saisie pour des affaires qui contestent les décisions de l'exécutif, du président et de son gouvernement. Et elle peut juger en défaveur du président. C'est la preuve d'une Constitution qui promeut l'État de droit, les droits de l'homme, qui tient les gens responsables de leurs actions. Et qui nous garantit des élections crédibles, c'est très important, donc c'est un document dont on est très fiers. »Les prochaines élections auront lieu le 29 mai et la Cour constitutionnelle a déjà été saisie pour statuer sur la validité de la candidature de Jacob Zuma.À écouter aussiTrente ans de démocratie en Afrique du Sud: quels résultats pour la politique de logements sociaux?

Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo says the Judges conference currently taking place at the Sun City Resort in North West must be used to ensure decisions taken must guarantee that the administration of justice in South Africa is put to a higher level. Chief Justice Raymond Zondo was delivering the key note address at the three day Judges conference. The aim of this gathering is to discuss matters of interests to the Judiciary in relation to its constitutional role and mandate. Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo elaborates

The Constitutional Court has ruled on Monday that independent candidates will need 1,000 signatures to partake in an election. The apex court gave a judgment on an application brought forward by One South Africa, challenging the number of signatures required to contest an election. According to the Electoral Amendment Act signed into law in 2023 after a ConCourt ruling of 2020 that independent candidates can contest elections, independents and political parties must garner 15% of the votes required to obtain a seat for the region they are contesting.Delivering two judgments by ConCourt, justice Jody Kollapen said chief justice Raymond Zondo's judgement.

Chief justice Raymond Zondo says corruption in South Africa has reached unacceptable levels. Zondo was speaking at the national anti-corruption dialogue in Boksburg on Wednesday. 

Chief Justice Raymond Zondo advised government to "close the taps" in public procurement to effectively fight corruption. Zondo was speaking at the National Dialogue on Anti-Corruption, in Johannesburg, where he said that corruption in the country had reached unacceptable levels, and that unless attended to, citizens would not have a country worthy to call home. He said most of the corruption in the country was in the public procurement sector, which remained vulnerable to corruption with millions of rands looted every day. "If we close the taps in public procurement, we will make a big difference in our fight against corruption," he explained. Zondo believes that if the independent and multi-disciplinary Scorpions unit had not been disbanded, there would not be high levels of corruption in South Africa. "I have a sense that if the Scorpions were not disbanded, we would not have the level of corruption that we have now in our country," he said. WHISTLEBLOWER INCENTIVISATION He noted that whistleblowers and investigative journalists had played a crucial role in the work of the Zondo Commission, highlighting from his recommendations that whistleblowers needed to be protected and incentivised. Zondo explained that while many people were critical of the recommendation to incentivise whistleblowers, he still believed that whistleblowers should get a percentage of the money recovered. He noted that the incentivisation would only apply where money was recovered based on the information disclosed by the whistleblower. Zondo said some people countered his recommendation, by arguing that people would only come forward with information for the money and not because it is the right thing to do. "…but our level of corruption is so bad that we in South Africa do not have the luxury to say we do not want the information because we have to pay. I want all the information. The critical thing is you will not get money if your disclosure did not play a critical role in recovering the money," he explained. Zondo said that citizens had to change the culture of corruption. "It might take long time, but we have to. Each and every one of us in our daily interactions, it is how we raise our children, it's at schools, it's at churches, it's everywhere. We must make sure that everyone abhors corruption, that everyone says we should have no corruption in our country," he said.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of breaching the equality clause in the Constitution by overlooking Deputy Chief Justice, Mandisa Maya, for the position of Chief Justice. Earlier this year, former President Zuma approached the Pretoria High Court in a bid to have Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo's appointment reversed. The President appointed Zondo as Chief Justice in April last year following interviews with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). The JSC had recommended the then Supreme Court of Appeal Judge President, Mandisa Maya, for the position. However, the recommendation was not binding on the President - who later appointed Zondo as chief justice and Maya as Deputy Chief Justice. Elvis spoke to Legal Expert, Mpumelelo Zikalala...

Zondo this week raised concern over the lack of action by Parliament to prevent another State Capture in the country. For this discussion we are joined on the line by Prof Sethugelo Matebesi, Sociologist at the University of Free State, AND UDM leader; General Bantu Holomisa...

Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo has called for the establishment of a permanent Commission to investigate any possible State Capture. Zondo lamented Parliament over its lack of implementation of the recommendations of the State Capture report. He delivered the keynote address at the colloquium hosted by the Human Sciences Research Council in Pretoria on the future of South Africa's democracy after the State Capture Commission. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter in parliament, Lulama Matya.

Chief justice Raymond Zondo has proposed solutions to prevent another state capture situation such as that by the Gupta family, one being the establishment of a standing anti-state capture and corruption commission. Zondo says the National Assembly and parliament failed to take steps to expose the Guptas' state capture because the ANC refused to agree to the establishment of an inquiry to investigate the allegations. 

Chief justice Raymond Zondo will be conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws (LLD) degree by Rhodes University next week.

 Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo has lamented corruption and argues that it robs poor South Africans of decent living conditions. Speaking at the second day of the commemoration of International Anti-Corruption Day at UNISA in Pretoria, Zondo zoomed in on state owned entities including Prasa. Prasa is a public entity wholly-owned by Government and reports to the Minister of Transport, however, the state entity has been a victim of corruption. In his State Capture report, Zondo recommended the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the corruption at the SOE. Zaleka Qodashe filed this report.

But some analysts question whether reforms that would help the government regain the trust of a fed-up public will ever be carried out. 南非總統推出各界期待已久的措施，以解決普遍存在的貪腐問題，連他本人跟他的內閣個人支出與生活方式都要接受更仔細的審查。這項改革意在協助政府重新取得受夠一切的大眾信任，但一些分析人士質疑是否能夠落實。 President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking on national television Sunday evening, said his government would, among other things, establish a permanent anti-corruption unit in the national prosecutor's office, create transparency in the granting of public contracts and increase protections for whistleblowers. 南非總統拉瑪佛沙周日晚間在國家電視台發表談話時表示，他的政府還將在國家檢察官辦公室設立一個常設的反貪腐部門，在批准公共合約方面創造透明度，並加強對舉報人的保護。 “As a country,” he said, “we are emerging from a dark and difficult period.” 他說：「作為一個國家，我們正在走出一個黑暗和困難的時期。」 But Ramaphosa deferred much of the work to root out corruption to Parliament and other government entities. He also did not say how he would tackle some of the most controversial issues closest to home, including what to do about senior officials within his government who have been accused of corruption. 但拉瑪佛沙將根除貪腐的大部分工作交給國會和其他政府機構。他也沒說自己將如何處置一些最具爭議的問題，包括如何處理他政府內遭指控貪腐的高官。 “It's so unserious, it's almost a joke,” William Gumede, a professor of public management at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said of Ramaphosa's proposals. If he wanted to show that he was serious about dealing with corruption in his orbit, Gumede added, Ramaphosa should have suspended the ministers accused of corruption. 約翰尼斯堡金山大學公共管理學教授古梅德談到拉瑪佛沙的提議時說，「太不認真了，簡直是個笑話」，並稱拉瑪佛沙若想展現自己認真看待他身邊貪腐問題，應該將遭指控貪腐的部長停職。 Ramaphosa's proposals came in response to hundreds of recommendations by a judicial commission that spent three years hearing evidence from more than 300 witnesses about how officials had gutted public enterprises to enrich themselves and their friends. The commission, led by South Africa's chief justice, Raymond Zondo, focused mostly on the nine years that Ramaphosa's predecessor, Jacob Zuma, led the country. 拉瑪佛沙的提議，是回應一個司法委員會提出的數百項建議。該委員會花了三年聽取300多名證人證詞，他們講述官員如何破壞公共企業來圖利自己跟朋友。委員會由南非首席大法官桑多領導，主要聚焦在拉瑪佛沙前任朱瑪領導南非的9年。 But the current president's reform efforts also come at a particularly fraught time, with Ramaphosa facing his own corruption scandal. 但這位現任總統的改革行動，是在一個特別令人憂心的時刻進行，因拉瑪佛沙自己也面臨貪腐醜聞。 As the country confronts a breakdown in public life, with frequent blackouts because of an overwhelmed electricity grid and increasing water outages, several investigations are underway into whether the president had sought to cover up the theft of potentially millions of dollars in cash from a game farm he owns. 隨著電網超過負載導致頻繁停電及愈來愈常停水，該國公眾生活面臨崩潰，幾項關於總統的調查也正進行中，以釐清他是否試圖掩蓋從他擁有的狩獵農場竊取數百萬美元現金。 During a news conference last week, Zuma said Ramaphosa, his staunch foe, was corrupt, while another former president, Thabo Mbeki, questioned Ramaphosa's future as a leader amid the farm theft inquiry. 朱瑪在上周的記者會上說他的死對頭拉瑪佛沙貪腐，另一位前總統姆貝基在農場盜竊案調查中，質疑拉瑪佛沙作為領導人的前途。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/6740698 Powered by Firstory Hosting

On his health, if he gets a position in the ANC again, former president Jacob Zuma said, “Looking at me, am I in the bed lying in hospital?” Zuma had scathing comments on President Cyril Ramaphosa but commenting on their relationship he said, ‘we talk, if we meet we talk'. Chief justice Raymond Zondo and his “pathetic” commission were not spared criticism. The former president was briefing the media this past weekend in Sandton, Gauteng.

Daar is onsekerheid oor hoe bek-en-klou-seer vleispryse en kleinboere sal raak. Parlementslede is die josie in nadat hoofregter Raymond Zondo sê hulle kan nie met die stryd teen staatskaping vertrou word nie. Die Internasionale Atoomenergie-agentskap beveel aan dat alle militêre magte van die Zaporitsia-kernkragsentrale onttrek word.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse parlement se voorsittende beamptes het hulle kommer uitgespreek oor onlangse uitlatings van hoofregter Raymond Zondo. Hy het verlede week gesê indien nog 'n Gupta-tipe oorname van die staatskas sou plaasvind, parlementlede dit waarskynlik nie sou kon keer nie. Die parlement se woordvoerder, Moloto Mothapo, sê hulle wag op die voorlegging van die plan van aksie om oorsig te verseker oor die instelling van die staatskapingsverslag se aanbevelings:

Former SAA board chair, Dudu Myeni has been sentenced to five years by the Johannesburg Magistrate's court for defeating the administration of justice or pay a 120-thousand rand fine. Half of the fine has been suspended, provided she does not repeat the same offense within the next five years. Myeni pleaded guilty to defying an order by the Chairperson of the State Capture Commission, Raymond Zondo to not disclose the identity of a protected witness. Myeni mentioned the name of the witness, who was identified by Zondo as Mr. X, twice during her testimony in front of live television cameras last year. For some reaction, Elvis Presslin spoke to Right2know Campaign National Coordinator Verushka Memdutt

EFF leader Julius Malema has reacted to the final state capture inquiry report released last week, saying it is “gossip” and that chief justice Raymond Zondo "wasted" R2bn as chair of the inquiry. Malema said the EFF is the rightful replacement of the ANC and will make education compulsory.

Acting chief justice Raymond Zondo on Thursday afternoon held a media briefing after his appointment as chief justice by President Cyril Ramaphosa this month. Zondo was asked questions about the position, which he said was a special honour. 

In their weekly chat, BizNews' Michael Appel and Adv. Erin Richards discuss the recent announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that Raymond Zondo will take over the reins of the apex court as Chief Justice come 1 April 2022. It's a decision that goes against the recommendation from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to appoint Justice Mandisa Maya to the top post. Ramaphosa, in what many interpret as seeking to show he's not afraid to exercise his discretionary power as President, instead elevated Zondo to the position. While Richards believes Zondo's appointment should be applauded, she's slightly concerned by the level of executive deference Zondo showed to Ramaphosa when the President testified before him at the State Capture Inquiry.

As investors gather for a third round of fund-raising for the country, the President faces a fightback as ANC secretary general Ace Magashule is charged. But does Ace really have the firepower to hurt Ramaphosa and what is the Ramaphosa camp doing to counter the propaganda effect of the Magashule trial afforded him by television channels? How likely is it that Jacob Zuma all ever give evidence to Raymond Zondo and why does the president leave Bheki Cele in charge of the police when he is clearly so unsuited to the job. Finally, what was the meaning of that orange tie Ramaphosa wore when he addressed the nation last week.

Former president Jacob Zuma has written to the state capture commission, requesting the chairperson deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo to recuse himself. In his formal notice to the commission, Zuma cites what he calls "historical personal, family and professional relations that ought to have been publicly disclosed" by Zondo. This follows Zondo's order that the former president must appear before the commission in November, as some witnesses who have testified mentioned his name.

The commission of inquiry into state capture resumes later THIS MORNING* in Parktown Johannesburg. Last year the inquiry heard testimonies from various government representatives who detailed their interactions with the controversial Gupta family which is perceived to be at the centre of alleged corruption relating to the state. Former president, Jacob Zuma has been fingered by many witnesses during the commission but has yet to give any indication regarding his availability to appear before deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo. Duduzane Zuma has however been formally summoned to testify before the the Commission, after being directly implicated in impropriety by former deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas

The Chairperson of the Commission Inquiry into State Capture, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, has dismissed the application by former Public Enterprises Minister, Lynne Brown, for leave to cross-examine witnesses. In his testimony before the Commission last month, former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas said he was told by Ajay Gupta that the controversial family had worked closely with a number of people, including Brown and Brian Molefe...Here is an extract from an exchange between Justice Zondo and Brown's Lawyer Simmy Lebala

Nedbank CEO, Mike Brown, says the bank decision to end its business relations with the Gupta family was motivated by the family's continued negative media reporting about its activities. Brown is testifying at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture led by Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo. Brown has told the commission that he did not feel pressured by the ANC to re-open the Gupta's business bank accounts. Senior officials of other banks have testified that they were threatened by ANC officials after they closed the bank accounts.

Chairperson of the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo has called on ministers who were summoned to the Gupta residence in Saxonwold Johannesburg, to discuss government business to come forward. Former GCIS CEO Themba Maseko has told the commission that Ajay had revealed during their meeting in 2010 that if ministers did not cooperate they were called to the home or that Zuma was instructed to deal with them. Maseko says he was given orders during that meeting to inform ministers to transfer their advertising spend to the coffers of the GCIS so that the money could be channelled to the now defunct New Age newspaper and ANN7 TV station. He says Zuma has phoned him during his drive to the Gupta home telling him to assist what he described as his “brothers”.

Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo, who is chairing the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, says the State Security Agency and the National Treasury should have provided assistance ahead of the start of the inquiry. He was speaking on day one of the hearings held in Parktown Johannesburg. The commission was set up to investigate, among others, the alleged influence of the Gupta family in the appointments of senior officials at government departments and state-owned enterprises. Zondo says the first challenge they encountered was regarding issues of fo security clearance.

The EFF has rejected Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo's appointment of Former Auditor General, Terence Nombembe, to lead a team of investigators probing State Capture. In a media briefing earlier on, party leader, Julius Malema has alleged that Trillian; a Gupta-linked firm, corrupted the South Africa Institute Of Chartered Accountants during Nombembe tenure as CEO. Malema says Nombembe should recuse himself from the Inquiry. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to EFF spokesperson, Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi..

The Department of Justice and Correctional Services has published the regulations of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into allegations of state capture.

The regulations will enable the Chairperson of the commission, Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo to collect evidence and subpoena witnesses to testify before the Commission, among other things. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Advocate Michael Masutha.

Former Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela says the State Capture Commission of Inquiry could face some challenges due to the delay in its establishment. President Jacob Zuma announced last night that he had appointed a Commission which would be headed by Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo. Madonsela released the State of Capture report last October and the President has since mounted several court bids to challenge it. Madonsela says too much time has been lost since the release of the report
