SACP calls for 'decisive investigative and prosecutorial action' against state capture
30 August 2019
The SACP has, in a memorandum to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and Hawks, demanded "decisive investigative and prosecutorial action against state capture".
In the memorandum, the SACP's Gauteng provincial secretary, Jacob Mamabolo, said: "... the advances against state capture are now faced with a concerted fightback. Networks that propped up the rogue operations to advance and defend the corruption of state capture remain active and continue to undermine our democracy."
The party, together with other concerned South Africans and a number of public organisations, most notably the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, are signatories to the #DefendOurDemocracy and #HandsOffOurDemocracy campaigns.
News24 previously reported the SACP and civil society organisations have threatened to protest against Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane whom the SACP's first deputy general-secretary, Solly Mapaila, called a "hired gun" for rogue elements aligned with the fightback campaign.
