Statement on the first anniversary of the release of the State Capture Commission report

One year after the State Capture Commission report, the Public Affairs Research Institute (PARI) asserts that the South African government's implementation of recommendations to hold perpetrators accountable and reform state institutions has been insufficient. While some efforts to professionalise public administration exist, the document highlights failures in developing anti-corruption architecture and addressing state-owned enterprise (SOE) governance. It notes that the President's legislative reform programme lacks momentum and the National Assembly has failed to adopt key recommendations for improving executive oversight.

• A year after the State Capture Commission report, the progress in implementing recommendations to hold perpetrators accountable and reform state institutions is considered insufficient, specifically regarding the development of anti-corruption architecture and the resolution of governance failures in state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
• The legislative reform programme proposed by the President lacks progress and is unlikely to be completed before the current Parliament is dissolved for the upcoming elections.
• The National Assembly has failed to adopt several of the commission's key recommendations intended to enhance its ability to oversee the executive branch.
