South Africa: Cosatu Welcomes the Freezing of the Assets of the Gupta Linked Companies Mckinsey and Trillian

press release

The Congress of South African Trade Unions welcomes the freezing of the assets of Gupta linked companies McKinsey and Trillian. This issuing of the preservative orders to the Assets Forfeiture Unit is long overdue and we hope this action combined with the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture ,will signify the beginning of the end of the Gupta patronage network that has wreaked havoc on our economy.

The endemic corruption that is eating at the fabric of our society and that robs us of services needs to be cleaned up without fear or favour. We are encouraged by the ANC NEC's firm commitment to the fight against corruption and agree with the assertion that law-enforcement agencies needs to be strengthened in order to lead the fight against corruption and crime in general.
