I have something to say. I have a silver bullet solution to extricate SA and any previously colonised country for that matter, out of a quagmire of social ills. By the way, a quagmire problem can only be resolved through a silver bullet solution!

  • Appoint the institute of internal auditors by legislation
  • Appoint the institute of directors by legislation
  • These two institutions, if properly empowered, can be impactful in terms of transitioning poor governnance to good governance. Our real challenge right now is poor governance
  • These two institutions need to be included under Chapter 9 of the constitution of SA. These two institutions are focused on preventive controls

Our constitution is strong on detective controls but weak on preventive controls.
