In September 2022, PARI and CASAC hosted a two-day conference to review and assess the Commission’s findings and recommendations.
Titled Understanding the findings and recommendations of the Zondo Commission, the conference was attended primarily by civil society representatives and included scholars, civil servants and journalists.
It generated lively debate and some strong recommendations to support the fight against state capture. Find the conference report HERE.
PARI and CASAC are now hosting a follow-up conference on the Zondo Commission – on 25 & 26 October 2023. Participants will again comprise civil society – including the Civil Society Working Group on State Capture – as well as scholars, state reformers and journalists.
The aim of the conference is to keep the Commission’s work alive in the public imagination, to review how reforms or interventions might be progressing, to discuss how civil society might support these initiatives, and to discuss strategies for holding the Executive, Parliament and private sector actors accountable to the commitments they have made to tackle corruption and state capture.
