“The arm of the law is long. Those who have stolen from the state may believe they got away with it, but their deeds will eventually catch up with them, whoever they are and whatever position they may hold.”

Ramaphosa took a swipe at private sector corruption, which he said must be fought with “equal vigour because for every public sector employee willing to be bribed, there is a business person willing to pay a bribe”.

The unit can request preservation orders and the freezing of assets to prevent further losses to the state, an important step targeting perpetrators who often go out of their way to hide, move and dispose of proceeds of corruption, according to Ramaphosa.

Recently, it reviewed and set aside more than R100m worth of irregular and unlawful contracts arising from procurement related to Covid-19.
