A corruption expert, Paul Hoffman, calls for the dissolution of South Africa’s IDAC and for the establishment of a new anti-corruption institution. In commentary reported by multiple outlets, Hoffman argues that IDAC should be disbanded and replaced by a body that is politically independent. He says such independence would help the institution tackle corruption without interference from political interests. The proposal focuses on replacing the existing structure rather than making limited changes, with the emphasis on governance and safeguards that would protect the new body’s ability to investigate and act. Across the reports, the core message is that the current anti-corruption framework is not sufficiently insulated from political influence, and that a redesigned, politically independent entity would be more effective. The articles present Hoffman’s view as a call for reform, without adding details about IDAC’s specific operations or the response from government or other stakeholders.
