The latest report by Transparency International sees South Africa top the list of countries where citizens believe the problem has got worse in the last year.

Over 80% of South Africans who were interviewed thought that corruption had increased over the last year. Ghana and Nigeria are some of the other worst-affected nations.

79% of South Africans surveyed also believe that not enough is being done to curb corruption. On the continent‚ the majority of Africans (58%) say that corruption has increased over the past year.

If there is one shining light to the survey it’s that 56% of South Africans surveyed believe that ordinary people can make a difference in the fight against corruption.

The survey found that 25% of respondents in SA believe that the most effective way for ordinary citizens to combat corruption is by reporting their experiences‚ followed by a further 22% who identified the refusal to pay bribes as an effective means to fight corruption.

With 43‚143 respondents, across 28 countries surveyed, people feel 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, AFP reports.

Between JZ pouring money into his Nkandla digs, Prasa’s dodgy trains and countless of other scandals, South Africans aren’t exactly stoked about the state of affairs.

“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.

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

Interesting.
I learnt that Zuma is the South African version Jona.

Before buhari's loyalist will come here to start bragging. The report is based on interviews not on figures of missing funds.

Although Fifa fraud shed light on the corruption allegations in South Africa

@lalalistica

This is a case of a poor student that always take last position in a class of 50 students and in this particular term, he still performed poorly but another student took his last position. It will be a shame and celebration of Failure for the 'regular' poor student to celebrate his 'achievement'.


Nigeria remains a very corrupt country. I am glad that the FOI and the TSA are here to stay but we are not there yet. Buhari must fight corruption and bring all looters/goats to justice. We shall celebrate only when we attain the level of a corrupt-free nation or at least when corruption has been curtailed.

Coming from a guy who actively campaigned for both APC and PDP, only to later create a thread claiming they are both sides of the same coin.

I just saw this report on channels tv

exactly. Change mentality shouldn't be only in the leadership. It should also be in the people and the system

Good to know .

The orientation of our people and our attitude to corruption is very embarrassing.

Coming from someone with comprehension problem. If you were smart, you'd have noticed that I always use this line for PDP...We Can Change Within the PDP. Go figure the meaning! And it was deliberate.


I have 0% tolerance when it comes to corruption

This is unbelievable. Nigeria should have top that chart. But i see better days ahead
