Motlanthe Warns of State Collapse as Crime, Corruption Erode Institutions

Former president Kgalema Motlanthe has issued a stark warning about South Africa’s deteriorating governance, saying the country’s once-functional systems have been severely weakened by political interference and corruption.

Speaking at a leadership forum, the respected statesman contrasted today’s challenges with his 2008-2009 presidency: “We maintained working systems that delivered services and fought crime effectively, even with limited resources. Now we see hollowed-out institutions and vanishing accountability.”

Motlanthe identified cadre deployment failures and political meddling as key factors behind collapsing service delivery and worsening public safety. His remarks come amid record violent crime rates and failing infrastructure that have eroded trust in government.

While avoiding direct criticism of current leaders, his address was widely seen as an indictment of the ANC’s decade-long stewardship. The former deputy president particularly lamented the decay of law enforcement agencies: “Our crime-fighting structures have been systematically weakened when they should be our strongest defense.”

The elder statesman concluded with an urgent appeal for civic engagement: “South Africans must demand ethical leadership and work to restore what made our institutions effective.” His intervention adds to growing concerns about institutional collapse under the weight of corruption and mismanagement.

Analysts note Motlanthe’s comments carry unusual weight given his reputation as a measured leader and his insider perspective on both functional and failing administrations. The speech has reignited debate about whether South Africa can reverse its governance decline before critical systems fail completely.
