Cape Town – South Africans have reacted to the third volume of the report into corruption at the heart of the state under former president Jacob Zuma.
The Presidency published the report on Tuesday evening after it was presented to the Director-General in The Presidency, Phindile Baleni, by the Secretary of the Commission, Itumeleng Mosala.
EWN reported that the report is divided into four sections, each of which focuses on Bosasa, which is now known as African Global Operations.
Bosasa was found to have used fronts to get kickbacks in exchange for lucrative government contracts.
Furthermore, it extensively bribed politicians, government officials, and others.

Amongst those implicated is the former minister of environmental affairs Nomvula Mokonyane and mineral resources and energy minister Gwede Mantashe to name just two.
Former Bosasa Chief Executive Officer Gavin Watson, who also funded the African National Congress events, gave Mokonyane and her family Christmas groceries and money every year, Times Live reported.
While Mantashe was the man who stood between Bosasa and government tenders, he benefited from the company’s home security upgrades, among other things, the report said.
Following the publishing of the report, some have called for action against those implicated, while others have questioned whether President Cyril Ramaphosa was investigated after allegedly failing to declare his R500 000 donation from Bosasa.
The first volume of the report was presented to Ramaphosa by Acting Chief Justice and Commission Chairperson Raymond Zondo on January 4.
The second volume was handed to the Presidency on February 1.
The Commission is expected to complete its work in April.
