BNC#9 | Hoffman Q&A: Asking the ANC to fight corruption is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas

BNC#9 | Hoffman Q&A: Asking the ANC to fight corruption is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas

Author: BizNews September 7, 2026 Duration: 38:30
Paul Hoffman has sued Jacob Zuma so many times that he calls him his "number one sponsor," because every case Zuma lost came with a costs order. At BNC#9, the Accountability Now advocate took questions on the private member's bill that could finally give South Africa an independent, Chapter 9 anti-corruption commission, why he thinks IDAC is structurally doomed and headed for a constitutional challenge, and who he expects to be first up for investigation once a proper body exists. He also made the case for the DA's fight to take policing powers away from national government in the Western Cape, explained why greed rather than ideology drives most corruption, and said why he doesn't buy the idea that Patrice Motsepe wants the presidency.
