“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.”

This was the stern warning issued by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday to those who have stolen from the state.

“They told me what I have heard in many other communities across the country: that the perpetrators of such acts are known, not least because they flaunt the proceeds of their crimes,” he said. Ramaphosa cited the establishment of the Special Investigating Unit alongside the Special Tribunal in 2019 as one of the country’s most effective weapons in the corruption fight.

“There can be no doubt the Special Tribunal has been a game changer. Since its establishment, the tribunal has recovered around R8.6bn from unlawful contracts.” “I have said before that winning the war on corruption will be difficult, and that it will take time to unravel the vast webs of patronage that had become entrenched.”

CyrilRamaphosa we pay you. We pay the bee quotas you appointed and we can demand from you. Don't divert attention like you did with your lies about farm murders. The private sector fire more people than you do at the MYANC.

Cyril was never against corruption as he's the product of corruption himself.

EXPLAINER | Is it legal for foreigners to fight for Ukraine? | News24March 14 - As thousands of would-be fighters from outside the country volunteer to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia's invasion, some may also face legal consequences in their home countries.
