Question 1 On 24 May 2024 President Cyril Ramaphosa signed
into law the National Prosecuting Authority Amendment Bill,
aimed at establishing a corruption-busting unit called the
Investigating Directorate against Corruption (Idac). This is
hailed as part of the implementation plan on the Zondo
Commission's1 recommendations, where Zondo had unveiled
the extent to which certain criminals have influenced decision-
making at the highest levels of the state. Taking this
development a step further, a Bill is intended to be introduced
soon amending the Constitution to establish a new Chapter Nine

Government institution, with their access to vast amounts of

African Police Service (SAPS), and various anti-corruption
units within government entities, the severity and pervasiveness
of corruption require a dedicated body with a focused mandate.
A single, specialized commission can address gaps in the current
anti-corruption framework and enhance efforts to combat
corruption effectively.
Here are several key points that substantiate the need for an

emphasizing accountability, transparency, and
responsiveness within the public sector. The
