Zondo: Parliament failed to protect South Africans

JOHANNESBURG - Chief Justice Raymond Zondo does not believe Parliament would have stepped in and stopped the looting.

This is despite the perpetrators were a group other than the Guptas.

He said State capture was all about greed, selfishness and criminality.

Zondo made these and other bold statements during an interview with reporter Moloko Moloto on Thursday.

There’s a need for a standing anti-corruption commission to stop state capture from happening again. That’s a recommendation by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. #eNCA #DStv403 #QuestionThinkAct #AllAngles pic.twitter.com/xquY1KBuyB

Zondo says there is a need for a standing anti-corruption commission to stop state capture from happening again.

He says this will allow people to report corruption allegations directly to the commission, making it more difficult for a majority party to protect its corrupt leaders in Parliament.
