politicians

Mrs. Hongwe expressed concern over political influence and corruption in the justice system affecting credibility, and that politicians, police, and the public need to change the culture to improve South Africa.

“politicians have now a bad reputation because of such things. So I am one of those people who are trying to resuscitate our name and our credibility... when you go out, it is a standard norm that when somebody is arrested, they will tell you ... we will speak to the police, give them something...no, if you are going to court, do not worry, bring something, we will speak to the prosecutor or I know the judge...so it is those things that are standard in our cities and in our communities that this is a character, that politicians are like this, police are like this, and we need to change that so that we have a better South Africa.”
