AmaBhungane’s Sam Sole discusses revelations from witnesses who are testifying before the commission of inquiry into the state-owned Public Investment Corporation.

Sole commented, “I hope the information dam is going to burst now… The only way the PIC can survive with any integrity and credibility is if those processes are opened up. It’s such a huge pot of money; there are so many people jostling to get their hands on those levers, so the only way that public servants and the public are going to be protected, is if we can all see exactly what is going on.”
