Corruption is on the rise in Africa, with South Africa topping the list of countries where citizens believe the problem has got worse in the last year, said a Transparency International survey released Tuesday.

According to the report, 83 percent of South Africans interviewed felt that corruption had increased, with Ghana and Nigeria also among the worst-affected nations.

Across all 28 countries surveyed, the police, business executives, government officials and the courts were all perceived as corrupt, with 75 million people estimated to have paid a bribe in the past year.

The survey also said that during the deadly Ebola outbreak in Liberia and Sierra Leone, corruption may have contributed to the slow government response.

“In both of these countries there are very high bribery rates and the public sector is perceived to be affected by extensive levels of corruption,” said the survey.

It said 58 percent of all the people surveyed conducted across sub-Saharan Africa believed that graft levels were on the rise.

On the plus side, Botswana scored well, with 54 percent indicating that their government was doing well in combating graft.

Only 20 percent of South Africans said they felt the same.

South Africa has been rocked by high-profile corruption scandals in recent years, including lavish public spending on renovations at President Jacob Zuma’s private homestead.

“People are outraged, they see this huge spending as part of government corruption,” David Lewis, director of Corruption Watch, a local anti-graft organisation, told AFP.

Madagascar ranked bottom, at nine percent, on the government’s commitment to fight corruption.

“Corruption creates and increases poverty and exclusion,” Transparency International head Jose Ugaz said in a statement.

He said whistleblowing was key to fighting graft, but people were scared to come forward as they felt it was “too dangerous (or) ineffective”.

Lol so you're just guessing... Typical... Pls when did Ghana have census for Nigerians?? Using ur logic Nigerians probably reduced during that time span...
Nigerians goto Ghana for two reasons, one of em is for schooling cos Ghanaian schools are "cheaper" and the other reason is for scamming.. The combined effort of the Nigerian police and efcc has made Nigeria unbearable for Internet fraudsters so they're all trooping to Ghana cos it's a more fertile and welcoming ground for their illegal activities ...
Ghanaians in Nigeria is another story, y'all the king of odd jobs.. From hawking to Bush clearing heck y'all nearly put the northerners and the nigeriens out the shoe mending business..

we have a national census every 10 years, the last one was 5 years ago, we take data of foreigners too so am not guessing. as for the reason ur people come here they are numerous, they come for holidays, they come for business, trainning they even come for passport and visa

You know you ain't making sense yet still you want to comment.
I guess I have to put some sense into your bokoharam/generator fumes decorated brain.
You live in a useless country so why in the first should you compare your country to Ghana?
Ghana is not as useless as nigeria ok.
Are Ghana universities not ranked higher than the so called universities in nigeria that looks like primary schools in GHANA?
The fees for GHANA universities are far higher than the fees for nigerian universities,so a poor person like you can't afford to school in Ghana.
Low ranked university in Ghana is even far better than the so called best university in nigeria # FACT
Infrastructure wise GHANA is far ranked ahead of nigeria. So what's the comparison here.You should be comparing your zoo country to Somalia and the likes.
Human Development Index (HDI) ,Ghana is ranked far ahead of nigeria.
There are OVER 5 MILLION nigerians in GHANA looking for greener pastures while others are in to be well educated.Your so called celebrities are all over GHANA, some are even building /buying houses here.
No sensible foreigner will even wish to rent a house in nigeria to the extent of buying or building in that zoo.
Security-wise Ghana is far ahead of nigeria. There's absolutely nothing positive that nigeria is ahead of Ghana except population and land mass size which automatically makes your economy bigger than GHANA .
Most nigerians in Ghana are wooden truck pushers selling CDs on the streets while majority are into prostitution and armed robbery.
About 70% of prisoners in Ghana are nigerians.
Am even surprised to hear that there are Ghanaians in nigeria. WTF!!
What is a Ghanaian doing there?
That's disgusting honestly
Comparing a useless filthy good for nothing zoo like nigeria to ALMIGHTY GHANA is not logic.
