-- The leaked preliminary Public Protector report, which implicated banking giant Absa in the looting of state funds during the apartheid era, should not be turned into an issue of race, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has warned.

Madonsela who addressed the Cape Town Press Club on Monday said the protracted investigation was becoming a white and black issue and reminded guests it was a white man who laid the complaint and who asked for the investigation into the alleged state looting. (City Press) Enditem
