President Cyril Ramaphosa this week met with the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council to discuss the government's response to the recommendations of the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture, Corruption and Fraud in the Public Sector. The council was appointed in August 2022 to deepen the country's fight against fraud and corruption. It augments the work done by law enforcement agencies and plays an independent role in terms of combating corruption and other criminal activities. The President's meeting came in the same week that Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan appeared before Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts as it still tries to get to the bottom of allegations of large scale corruption, fraud, sabotage and crime cartels at Eskom. Also a month ago today, the first state capture trial ended in a discharge for the defendants, with acting Bloemfontein high court judge Nompumelelo Gusha saying both the police and prosecution had been woefully inept in their handling of the Nulane Investments fraud and money-laundering case. 
To look at the adequacy of the response to South Africa's endemic corruption we spoke to Firoz Cachalia, Chairperson of the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council.
