| Tiivistelmä: | June sees the beginning of a public hearing into charges of corruption and draft involved in South Africa's biggest arms procurement deal - a R50bn package signed two years ago. But a huge debate is raging over whether or not the investigations will have any teeth. Whatever the outcome of the hearings, the arms scandal investigations are seen as a litmus test of the ANC government's commitment to accountancy. Questions investigators want answered include: how a R29.5bn agreement so rapidly expands to R50bn; what limits were set on escalations; what happened to the supposed benefits of counter-trade and employment creation used to garner public support for the purchases. |
