Meet Popo Molefe: Transnet's corruption-busting chair who wants Guptas back in SA
--:--
An oft heard refrain from those cynics of South Africa's clean-up is that nobody has been brought to account. That might be a consequence of the sheer scale of the corruption that took place in the past nine years - and the near daily uncovering of additional malfeasance. But even these pessimists will pause after listening to Transnet's corruption-fighting chairman Popo Molefe. A shining example of public service, Molefe has been brought back into the headlines in recent years after standing firm in fighting deep corruption in the country's rail and ports parastatal. He is resolute. The process of excising the cancer of corruption has begun. And even though it will take time, he and the new Transnet board and management are resolute. As Molefe reminds us, SA now has an extradition treaty with the UAE so even the Guptas aren't safe.
