State capture inquiry a 'stage play', foreigners without skills must go - new IFP president
28 September 2019
The state capture commission of inquiry is nothing more than a "stage play" which might not benefit South Africa once completed, according to new IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa.
Hlabisa was speaking to News24 in an interview in which he also discussed the state of his organisation, his rise to the presidency of the country's fourth largest party and several issues preoccupying South Africans' minds.
"The state capture [commission] is not sending a good message to the public of South Africa. So many implicated and there is no action to follow those people," Hlabisa said, calling for action from crime fighting institutions against some of those who have been implicated in evidence before the commission.
His views are not unique, criticism South Africans have levelled against the National Prosecuting Authority include a failure to act against politicians and those implicated in looting from the state.
