# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Justice and Constitutional Development says the appointment of advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara as the acting head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption comes at a critical time for South Africa’s criminal justice system. The Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee and Madlanga Commission have brought serious concerns about corruption, criminal networks, governance and institutional weaknesses into sharp focus. The committee says it will closely monitor Vanara’s progress, as the IDAC must be an effective, independent and credible institution, capable of investigating serious corruption and holding people accountable.
Parliament’s Justice Committee expresses confidence in Vanara, following his appointment as acting IDAC head
