Cyril Ramaphosa Says Corruption Inquiry Shedding Light On Dark Period In South Africa

Cyril Ramaphosa 

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has lashed out at the corruption that infected the country before his predecessor, Jacob Zuma, was ousted as head of state earlier this year.

He said corruption was now being tackled, but people still needed to see senior government officials tried and sent to prison.

Mr Ramaphosa acknowledged that because he was deputy president during the darkest period he too must give evidence to a judicial corruption enquiry.

Later in the day, the president confirmed the sacking of the head of the country's tax authority, Tom Moyane.

He had been under suspension since March over a string of controversies, including missing revenue.
