South Africa: We Need Private Sector Leadership to Fight Private Sector Corruption

press release

I have written a number of pieces recently on corruption - on the dangers of becoming "fatigued" by the barrage of reports on government corruption, and also on the types of local government corruption that affect millions of South Africans every day.

Corruption is like a rampant virus that weakens every part of the state and ultimately prevents it from performing its core functions. Until we find a way of stamping out government corruption and holding the offenders to account, we will always be playing a game of catch up when it comes to rolling out services to the citizens of our country.
