OPEN SECRETS ANALYSIS: Unaccountable 00048: The consultants revolving door — BCG welcomes Bain’s boys
Several former members of the Bain team that worked on the South African Revenue Service (SARS) project during the State Capture period moved to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) within a short period of time after the full extent of Bain’s role in the attack on SARS was revealed. What does this mean for accountability for corporate enablers of State Capture?
In the aftermath of the State Capture scandal, several former members of Bain & Company, who worked on the South African Revenue Service (SARS) project, made their way to Boston Consulting Group (BCG). This revolving door of talent has raised questions about the firm's accountability for enabling State Capture. BCG, one of the Big Three management consultancies, has operations in 90 cities across 50 countries, including South Africa.
Despite the firm's claim of adequately reviewing payment structures and contracts to avoid corruption, it remains a key player in South Africa's energy sector, including projects related to the country's Just Energy Transition (JET) initiative.
