University of the Free State chancellor and president of Business Unity South Africa Professor Bonang Mohale maintained SA is not a poor country, but rather poorly managed.
Cape Town - “We all begin to die the day that we are silent about the things that matter.”
The ISI and the Anti-Corruption Centre for Education and Research of Stellenbosch, through its School of Public Leadership, partnered to research the realities of international and African Advisory Councils against corruption and to produce a report which will be handed to the public policymakers as a contribution to policy development.Mohale maintained South Africa is not a poor country, but rather poorly managed.
In a country with 60.1 million South Africans, on average collecting R1.4 trillion through the SA Revenue Services, Mohale said there is “absolutely no reason” why people should go to bed hungry because there is more than enough money to go around.“When we see the people who call themselves our leaders stealing the R500m socio-economic stimulus as a response to the pandemic, we know that we still have a long way to go – hence the need for this National Anti-Corruption Council,” Mohale said.
Mantzaris said no one could fight against corruption without the strong support of society, communities and the government and all its institutions.Drago Kos, who currently chairs the OECD working group on bribery in international business transactions, is a co-chair of Mena – OECD Business Integrity Network, and a member of International Anti-Corruption Advisory Board , among others, questioned whether South Africa has anti-corruption fatigue as the country has 14 anti-corruption agencies.
