Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has pleaded with communities to help her department root out corruption.
She visited the impoverished area of Mboza, in Mhlabuyalingana, KwaZulu-Natal, with the provincial MEC for social welfare and population development, Meshack Hadebe. The visit was prompted by an outcry from the community over rampant corruption and lack of service delivery.
