Izikhulu eziningana eziphezulu zaseNingizimu Afrika zaqhubeka nezikhundla eziphezulu naphezu kokuthinteka ekudalulweni okukhulu komphakathi, njengoba kubhalwe emibikweni efana nombiko we-State of Capture kanye nokutholakele kwikhomishini ye-State Capture. Izibalo ezifana nowayeyisikhulu esiphezulu se-Eskom uBrian Molefe, isikhulu esiphezulu sezezimali u-Anoj Singh, kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu uMatshela Koko basalokhu besezikhundleni noma babuyela emsebenzini womphakathi ngemuva kophenyo oluveze ukuthengwa kwempahla okungajwayelekile, ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo, noma ukuqokwa okungekho emthethweni, ngokusho kwe-The Citizen kanye namarekhodi asemthethweni ahlobene.

Imininingwane Yezikhulu Ezibalulekile Ezithintekayo Ehlazweni

UBrian Molefe waqokwa embikweni we-Public Protector ka-2016 we-State of Capture ngokuxhumana nomndeni wakwaGupta ngesikhathi semiklomelo yezinkontileka zamalahle ze-Eskom. U-Anoj Singh wabonakala kakhulu emithonjeni ehlobene nokuthengwa kwe-Eskom kanye nokusebenzisana okungabazekayo nezinkampani zokubonisana iMcKinsey neTrillian. UMatshela Koko wamiswa ngo-2017 ngemuva kokuthi izinkontileka ze-Eskom kuthiwa zazuzisa inkampani ehlobene nendodakazi yakhe yokutholwa, kodwa kamuva wabuyela ezikhundleni eziphezulu.

UHlaudi Motsoeneng wahlala e-SABC iminyaka eminingi, ngisho nangemva kokuba uMvikeli Womphakathi ethole ukuthi ukuqokwa kwakhe njengesikhulu esiphezulu sokusebenza kwakungekho emthethweni. Inhloko yezobunhloli bobugebengu uRichard Mdluli ugcine isikhundla sakhe ngemuva kokususwa kokumiswa kwakhe, naphezu kokubhekana nezinsolo zobugebengu. Ezinye izibonelo zifaka phakathi owayeyisikhulu esiphezulu sePrasa uLucky Montana ngesikhathi sezingxabano zokuthengwa kwempahla, usihlalo webhodi le-SAA uDudu Myeni owamenyezelwa njengomqondisi ohlubukayo, kanye nowayenguMvikeli Womphakathi uBusisiwe Mkhwebane, owabhekana nezinsolo zokukhetha ngesikhathi sakhe.

Ukwehla Kwethonya Lamahlazo Emisebenzini Yezepolitiki

Ucwaningo lwakamuva, oluhlanganisa nezifundo ezanyatheliswa kusukela ngo-2023 kuya ku-2026 futhi zacashunwa yi-Phys.org, lubonisa ukuthi amahlazo ezepolitiki anethonya elincane emisebenzini yabaholi uma kuqhathaniswa namashumi eminyaka adlule. “Amahlazo awafiki njengoba ayenjalo ngaphambili,” kusho uprofesa wesayensi yezepolitiki uBrandon Rottinghaus, echaza indlela osopolitiki abavame ukubhekana ngayo nezingxabano ezazingaholela emiphumeleni yokuphela komsebenzi ngaphambilini. Ngokwalezi zifundo, abavoti banamathuba amancane okujezisa osopolitiki, futhi izikhulu eziningi ezisolwayo zisalokhu zisezikhundleni eziphezulu noma zibuyela empilweni yomphakathi naphezu kokutholakele kokuziphatha kabi.

Lo mkhuba uphakamise imibuzo mayelana nokuziphendulela kanye nokusebenza kahle kwezindlela zokuqapha eNingizimu Afrika nakwamanye amazwe. Ukuqhubeka kwezikhulu ezithintekayo phezu kohulumeni abaningi kugqamisa izinselelo eziqhubekayo ekuqinisekiseni ukucaca kanye nokwethenjwa komphakathi ezinhlakeni zokubusa.

IPhalamende kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi ziyaqhubeka nokubiza izinyathelo eziqinile zokuziphendulela, kodwa ngokusekelwe ezindleleni zakamuva, imiphumela yezepolitiki yokuziphatha kabi isalokhu ingaguquki. Ukunaka kuzogxila ezinguqukweni zesikhathi esizayo kanye nezinqubo zomthetho ukuze kunqunywe ukuthi lo mkhuba uzoqhubeka yini noma ukuthi ushintsho lwezikhungo luzoletha yini ukuqapha okuqinile.
