These are the sentiments of DA MP Glynnis Breytenbach, whose party wants the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (Idac) disbanded, and an anti-corruption commission independent of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) set up to tackle corruption.
Idac taintedThe DA said while efforts to investigate and prosecute corruption are welcome, they do not go far enough.
“We want something completely new, and we’ve been advocating for some time for an independent, truly independent anti-corruption commission.
They’ve taken what is rotting in the National Prosecuting Authority, they’ve transferred it to Idac, and the rot continues.
Jacob Zuma’s party submitted the Idac Abolition Bill, 2026, to parliament’s Legislative Drafting and Legal Services Office for processing as a Private Member’s Bill.
