More than 20 civil society groups have submitted their recommendations to the Zondo commission on how to reform the state and private sector in the wake of state capture.
‘An Agenda for Action’ was submitted to the commission this month by organisations including Open Secrets, the Dullah Omar Institute, Equal Education and Corruption Watch.
The coalition was based on their unity against the looting of public funds and a commitment to promoting the interests of the public.
At a briefing on Wednesday, Open Secrets researcher Mike Marchant said their submission sought to “put on the agenda the fact that banks, law firms, consultancies and accountants sit at the heart of the economy which enables corruption”.
