One year ago, Open Secrets and @ShadowWorldInv1 submitted to @StateCaptureCom our investigative report, The Enablers: the Bankers, Accountants and Lawyers that Cashed in on State Capture.

The Enablers focuses on the role of banks, accounting firms, consultants and lawyers in facilitating criminal conduct that formed part of the #StateCapture enterprise.

A failure to interrogate, fully and energetically, the private enablers of this enterprise would leave the work of the State Capture Inquiry (Zondo Commission) incomplete.

This investigative report shows that the systems that enable grand corruption and #StateCapture are global in nature, and that private sector elites are central to the problem. Directors of complicit corporations in South Africa and abroad must be held to account too.

The launch of the Enablers was hosted at the Sandton Library as Sandton is an important location as many of the bankers, accountants and lawyers that facilitated #statecapture are all located there. We call it the Sandton State Capture Mile.
