President Cyril Ramaphosa has characterised the rooting out of corruption as the governments overriding priority during his New Years Eve message.
Ramaphosa said through the Special Investigating Unit and the Asset Forfeiture Unit the government had recovered billions of stolen money.
Specialised task teams have made breakthroughs against illegal mining, kidnapping, economic infrastructure crimes and construction site extortion. We are determined to continue to take decisive steps to clean up our law enforcement agencies. The recommendations of the Madlanga Commission will be implemented to enhance the reforms that are needed to reposition our police service and other law enforcement agencies, he said.
