‘Corruption has contributed significant changes in SA’

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Corruption Watch says growing public pressure on corrupt people and systems has contributed to the significant changes in South Africa.

In its 2017 corruption report the organisation says there has been a 25% increase in the number of reports of corruption in 2017.

Titled “The Time is Now”, the report reveals that 46% of reports originated from Gauteng, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 13% and the Western Cape coming in third with 8%.

Executive director of Corruption Watch David Lewis says, “2017 was a watershed year in the South African history and in the history against the struggle of corruption culminating in the removal of a regime that had enabled the capture of a South African state. But we mustn’t lose sight of the amount of work that went into it on the part of civil society and on the part of the media supported by the courts. But above all, what it took for an active public to overthrow a corrupt regime.”
