State Capture Architects sworn in as MPs an insult to South African democracy
28 August 2024
The swearing-in of individuals implicated in state capture as Members of Parliament for the MK Party today is a travesty and an insult to the people of South Africa, who have suffered the devastating consequences of corruption and mismanagement under the very individuals now poised to represent them in Parliament.
Among those sworn in are:
Mr. Lucky Montana - former PRASA CEO, who played a pivotal role in the state capture of PRASA. The Zondo Commission found that Montana was instrumental in determining which service providers would receive major tenders, thereby corrupting the very foundation of our public transport system.
Mr. Siyabonga Innocent Gama - former Transnet CEO, whose tenure was marred by allegations of corruption. Gama's involvement in awarding lucrative contracts at Transnet exemplifies the deep-seated corruption that has plagued our state-owned enterprises.
