The GOOD Party welcomes the long-overdue arrests of former Transnet executives Brian Molefe and Siyabonga Gama, who handed themselves over to police and are expected to appear in court later today.

According to media reports, the arrests relate to a dubious R93-million double payment linked to the procurement of 1,064 locomotives during Molefe’s tenure as Group CEO of Transnet between 2011 and 2015. This case is yet another example of the industrial-scale looting that took place under the cover of State Capture, a project that robbed South Africans of infrastructure, integrity, and justice.

We trust that the National Prosecuting Authority has built a watertight case and is ready to proceed swiftly with prosecution. After years of damning evidence, including testimony before the Zondo Commission, it is time for accountability to be seen and felt.

No one should be above the law. The arrest of high-profile figures like Molefe and Gama is a critical step in showing that there are consequences for abusing public office and plundering state institutions.

South Africans are watching, not just to see arrests, but to see convictions. The era of impunity must end.
