LETTER: The pros and cons of cash bribes
One can but hope that advocate Shamila Batohi will demonstrate her bite on some easily caught fish
Once advocate Shamila Batohi has secured her position and become the top "great white shark" of the National Prosecuting Authority (Features, January 31-February 6), one can but hope that she will demonstrate her bite on some easily caught fish. I suggest the easily followed paper and bank account trail of the great VBS bank heist, as provided by the National Treasury investigation, as a good start. The startling revelations surrounding the Bosasa cesspit of corruption will be very hard to prove (unless the various witnesses in the state capture inquiry have supporting documentation not revealed to the public), as the payments appear largely to have been made in cash and so will require extensive life-style audits of the alleged recipients.
