South Africa: Public Sector Corruption

Abstract

Corruption in the public sector has and always will continue to be a thorn in the side of any government throughout the world. Irrespective of what control measures are put in place, corruption remains a problem in many respects. It undermines the authority and the credibility of the government and its employees, it has an effect on the economic balance of the country and it plays a major role in the spread of economic crimes in general.
