Private sector must also be censured when in the wrong - Jonas
18 September 2017
Pretoria - The denouncing of KPMG and Bell Pottinger by South African citizens is a good trend and bodes well for the country, former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas says.
Speaking at the Public Servants Association's media briefing during its annual general meeting in Pretoria on Monday, Jonas said it was not only the public sector that should be censured when at fault.
"It’s not only the public sector that we must censure. We must actually censure the private sector, because if it behaves badly it undermines, not only the potential growth but even the profitability of companies," he said.
Jonas added that our immune system against corruption - a good judiciary, strong public opinion and a robust media - had been effective in dealing with KPMG and Bell Pottinger.
