Another Commission? Mr President, Did you forget Zondo?

ON SUNDAY night, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the establishment of yet another commission - this time to investigate the failings of law enforcement agencies.

But South Africans have every right to ask: Did no one in the Union Buildings remind him that we already spent over R2 billion on the Zondo Commission to uncover exactly this?

The Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, chaired by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, spent nearly four years documenting how corruption hollowed out our public institutions - and how law-enforcement and intelligence agencies were deliberately weakened to enable it.

Zondo’ report didn’t simply expose corruption. It laid bare how SAPS, the NPA, and the State Security Agency (SSA) were systematically captured to protect looters and punish whistle-blowers. This wasn't just administrative failure - it was strategic sabotage.
