Speaking candidly this week about the state of governance in the country, Sooliman highlighted how power struggles and personal agendas have trumped service delivery, leaving critical decisions including the national budget - hanging in the balance.

The philanthropist stated: “The country is tired of promises, no delivery, corruption and nothing being done about it.”

Sooliman said revelations from KZN police commissioner Lt-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who had made damning allegations against high-ranking police officials and politicians, were a “game changer”.

“The fact that the rot is being exposed is a good thing. People are becoming more conscious and wanting to do things the right way. All these commissions show that people are taking notice. People say government is corrupt. Government is not corrupt, there are people inside of government that are corrupt.
