senior General

The current disclosure requirements allow officials to evade declaring assets like cars by claiming ownership belongs to others, even if they use the assets daily, which undermines the intent of disclosure.

“a senior General in the SAPS drives a R3 million car and then when it comes time to disclose, he says, well, it is not mine, so I do not have to disclose it ... it is his friend's car ... although it parks in his garage every day and he uses it every day ... current gap in requiring disclosure of beneficial ownership ... official can entirely declare that they own zero cars and would be following the rules”
