The much-anticipated Donen report into SA’s involvement in Iraq’s oil-for-food scandal was finally released  clearing top political figures such as Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale but failing to lay to rest all the questions about kickbacks and fraud committed by South Africans.
