Mogoeng calls on SA to address corruption in the private sector
The University of KwaZulu-Natal's new Chancellor and Chief Justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng says South Africans must not turn a blind eye to the wrongdoings of the private sector.
''For as long as we pretend that wrongdoing is only in the public sector but never in the private sector - we are not going to achieve our Constitutional aspirations," he says.
Mogoeng is warning people against only seeing fault in government.
He had been speaking during his official inauguration as UKZN Chancellor at the university's Westville campus yesterday.

He said the private sector is not always innocent, especially when it comes to corruption.
"There is a lot of wrong doing, I dare say, in the public sector. A lot, as corruption and as mismanagement but there is a lot of wrongdoing in the private sector. How it escapes the public space or find some space there for little while and immediately disappears, has confounded me for a very long time," he says.
