SA waiting to hear Ramaphosa's anti-corruption plans
Business Leadership SA says our new president, Cyril Ramaphosa already faces a number of challenges that need immediate attention.
The president was yesterday sworn into office.
"It's important to focus on the urgent task of growing the economy - and putting our people into jobs in order to address key challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment especially among our youth," the group's Thebe Mabang says.
Mabanga says that investigations into allegations of state capture involving top political figures must also be prioritised.
"Now that we have Mr. Zuma out of the way - we need to be adequately resourced enabling the Zondo Commission of Inquiry to be functional to begin its work of investigating state capture against key figures in the ANC's senior leadership. They also need to be offered the opportunity to account for their actions," he says.
Ramaphosa will deliver his maiden State of the Nation Address this evening.
