Volume 3 of the State Capture report has recommended almost three times as many people for prosecution by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) as the previous two volumes – despite the fact that it deals exclusively with corruption linked to one private company, Bosasa.

The number of people implicated in this third instalment (60-plus) is a reflection of both the reach of Bosasa, which won contracts in a huge range of different government sectors, and the convincing evidence in this workstream supplied to the State Capture Commission by former Bosasa chief operations officer (COO) Angelo Agrizzi and other former Bosasa employees.

The latest report is also notable for being the first in which former president Jacob Zuma is explicitly recommended for prosecution, along with three MPs and three other current and former members of the executive.

There will be enough work stemming from this volume alone to keep the NPA busy for quite some time.
