Modonsela, who is credited for setting the wheels of the State Capture Inquiry in motion when she was the Public Protector, never misses the opportunity to be outspoken about corruption in SA.

Former public protector Thuli Madonsela weighed in on Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution bid against Cyril Ramaphosa

In another story, Briefly News reported that ex-public protector Thuli Madonsela shared her opinion on Jacob Zuma's attempts to have President Cyril Ramaphosa privately prosecuted.

Madonsela took to Twitter to state that she found Zuma's legal team's reasoning behind charging Ramaphosa "odd" and did not understand how they concluded that he needed to be criminally charged.

According to TimesLIVE, Zuma issued a summons against Ramaphosa, accusing him of being an accessory to Advocate Billy Downer's alleged criminal offence because the president ignored his complaint about Downer's conduct.
