Beukman: We need to see successful prosecutions. Economic crimes in the private sector that robs millions of South Africans from their hard-earned savings and pension-fund investments should never be tolerated.

"We welcome the investigation launched by the DPCI into the Steinhoff-matter and other private sector related cases. We need to see prosecution-driven investigations. We need to see arrests."

Beukman: Fighting corruption requires an anti-corruption system that is well-resourced, operates freely from political interference, and has the support of all citizens.

"Our law enforcement agencies should interact with Interpol and their counterparts in other jurisdictions to ensure that all fugitives with relation to state capture are apprehended and brought to book."

Beukman of the ANC says "we need women and men of integrity, who are able to make decisions without fear and favour, within our crime fighting institutions."
