South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is under mounting pressure to do more than say that he is against corruption amid numerous claims that food, monies and procurement processes earmarked for the fight against Covid-19 have been heavily abused.
In addressing the nation after his own spokesperson had to step aside amid allegations that her husband had been favoured in the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Mr Ramaphosa said there would be “no tolerance” for corruption at a time of crisis.
