Ramaphosa still 'awaiting final state capture report' three 'wasted years' later

President Cyril Ramaphosa is still awaiting acting chief justice Raymond Zondo's final state capture report three-and-a-half "wasted years" later.

Ramaphosa appeared at the state capture inquiry this week, where he said that the commission's report will be the only “final guide” he will use to determine who the perpetrators of state capture wrongdoings are who deserve to be let go from the government and its institutions.

Even if the report, which is yet to be finalised, is, as expected, taken on judicial review and thus muddying the waters, Ramaphosa is happy to keep the likes of former spy boss Arthur Fraser and ex-intelligence minister David Mahlobo, until he has seen the inquiry's report and weighed it up.
