The Editor’s Desk: SA is finally cleaning up its NPA mess

After years of waiting, South Africa is finally seeing real action on the corruption clean-up front, starting with big news out of the NPA. Two top dogs at the National Prosecuting Authority have been given their walking papers after they were found unfit for office. Cleaning up the NPA is the first step in turning around SA’s fight against corruption, because the NPA is the organisation tasked with putting away the bad guys. As more and more incriminating information emerges from the country’s various commissions, having a strong and willing NPA will make it much more likely that South Africans will be seeing justice – and it’s better late than never. In this week’s episode, Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan discuss the events unfolding at the NPA and the Mpati Commission and what they mean for South Africa. They also look at global markets, unpacking the recent all-time highs achieved by US stocks.
