This week all eyes will be on #Budget2022. #OUTA compiled some #tips for the Minister of Finance & @TreasuryRSA which we sent to them about 2 weeks ago. Here's our list:
#Budget2022 priorities
OUTA wants to see these as top priorities in Budget 2022:
#Funding to decisively combat & PROSECUTE #corruption.
Concrete ACTION to promote #economicgrowth & address #unemployment.
@TreasuryRSA
#Budget2022 Fund the #WarAgainstCorruption
Ensure ample funding for prosecuting state capture, corruption and tax evasion, for @sarstax @RSASIU Hawks & @NPA_Prosecutes.
Ensure support for whistleblowers.
Fund new oversight bodies as recommended by @StateCaptureCom.

1. We all saw the #destruction caused by visible #looting in #SAUnrest & communities are reeling from the impact. But about 1000 times of what it will cost to repair last week’s damage, was “invisibly” looted through #StateCapture & #corruption. Here are some highlights
2. According to @ShadowWorldInv1 the #ArmsDeal of the 1990’s cost SA an estimated R2,2 billion looted to pay bribes and kickbacks. To date nothing has been recovered. Money that could have changed the poor’s lives wasted on #GrandScaleLooting.
3. In 2015 @CompComSA found #construction companies #GroupFive, #WBHO, #BasilRead, Murray&Roberts, #Aveng & #StefanuttiStocks guilty of #colluding when building 2010 FIFA World Cup stadiums. This added R14 billion to construction costs. (Your taxmoney!)

THREAD: "Time for interventions on specifics. #ESKOM board must ensure #diesel stocks are replenished. Also, ensure water levels restore to upper dams for OCGT plants." -Ronald Chauke.
Ramaphosa: Load shedding a 'hugely damaging reality check' via @Fin24 fin24.com/Economy/Eskom/…
"Exco should give weekly updates on number of irregular contracts being reviewed to be terminated to reduce pressure on #Eskom liquidity. Board should order exco to review procurement practices using middlemen who make Eskom buy at excessive prices."
"We need practical examples from #Eskom on how #costcutting is undertaken. Also, taxpayers wants to see timelines for this. And accountability for decisions at embattled power supplier." - Ronald Chauke, #OUTA's portfolio manager for energy.

We currently have 14 cases at SAPS. But evidence for many more. Time for action against Zwane, Seleke, Gigaba, Molefe, the #Guptas, the #Zumas, Anoj Singh, Mark Pamensky, Hlaudi and others against whom we laid criminal cases in the past 3 years. Plenty of evidence ready for #NPA.
1) #OUTA also made several submissions to the #ZondoCommission (with evidence) on #StateCapture involving
Dan Mantsha, Gupta companies, Matshela Koko, MKMVA, TNA, Sinqumo Trust (Zuma's wife's trust), Trillian, Free State Premier's Office,
Transnet Second Defined Benefit Fund.
2) #OUTA also made submissions (or are in the process of submitting) evidence to #ZondoCommission on #StateCapture at #SABC, #ESKOM, #Denel, #SAA and #Transnet. We are in regular contact with investigating officers on all of this.
