Former Public Protector, Prof Thuli Madonsela, has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint cabinet ministers who can be trusted for their ethical leadership and integrity.

She was delivering the 2019 Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Development Trust Public Lecture at the University of the Western Cape on Tuesday.

“When we’re saying we want people of integrity to go to Parliament and who will preserve it, we’re meaning people who’ll be true to their calling” says Prof Madonsela.

The lecture is an annual event that promotes critical dialogue about integrity and leadership in South Africa.

Madonsela’s keynote address focussed on the state of leadership in South Africa against the backdrop of State Capture.
