According to Corruption Watch spokesperson Bongi Mlangeni, 32% of the cases are related to grievances about banks, misconduct by lawyers, municipal mismanagement, and business-to-business fraud.

Mlangeni said 25% of cases still required further assessment as they were not easy to categorise.

"They were service delivery complaints which may be due to badly managed processes or a result of corrupt behaviour."

Corruption Watch has launched an application with the special investigating unit and the Gauteng department of health for access to the report of an investigation into allegations of fraud, procurement irregularities, and financial mismanagement in the health department.

Next month, the organisation will launch its first campaign and release its report into corruption in the Johannesburg Metro Police Department.

"This will kick off a major campaign aimed at reforming the JMPD and informing the public about their rights and duties in relation to corruption in traffic policing," said Mlangeni.

To report corruption, the public can visit www.corruptionwatch.org.za, send an e-mail to info@corruptionwatch.org.za or sms 45142.

No just government but businesses too. With corruption there will always be crime and poverty.

How South Africa is not NUMBER ONE in the list of the most corrupt countries in the world is beyond imagination.
Yesterday we heard of the case of the DEPUTY PRESIDENT giving out contracts to his romantic partner to sell choppers to iraq.
That report that says we are next to kenya in economic crimes in the world is a farce. we are high up there.
ITS SO SAAAAAD!!!

I see we are paying R6 billion a year for MP's and their houses. The budget increased by R2 billion since last year.

At this rate we are not going to rid this country of corruption in our life time, because those who are watching it are also corrupt!!!

Morning :)

Well I suppose we will watch it for a while then have a meeting about it,
then we will have to get a committee to form so that they can have meetings on if they should form a task team,
then we will have to form a task team to have meetings about what the task team should investigate,
then we would have to form a committee to have meetings to discuss the task team's findings,
then we would need to form a committee to determine if we need a task team to investigate what the task team found
....... I see it all being resolved in about another century or so.
