Former public protector Thuli Madonsela says South Africans should not wait for corrupt leaders to be found guilty in a court of law to remove them from power.
Madonsela said this while participating as a panelist at a University of the Free State 2020 Thought Leaders Webinar Series event with the theme “Post-Covid-19, Post-Crisis.” The event focused on politics in SA.
He said corrupt leaders should be removed from power because they are unethical.
“The corrupt are now mobilizing for the support of the very people who have been robbed,” he said.
Madonsela said that social justice is important if SA wants to advance in the fight against corruption.
“If we want SA to function better using the opportunities offered by Covid-19, we will have to do better on three fronts: social justice, ethical governance and the rule of law. We have to stop saying that we are going to deal with people and remove them from power once they have been found guilty in criminal court.
“We have to eliminate them when they are unethical because that is what the constitution says.”
