Gauteng, KZN the most corrupt provinces – Corruption Watch

Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal are the provinces worst affected by corruption, with the education sector and police being the greatest sources of graft, according to Corruption Watch’s 2018 report,Corruption Watch executive director David Lewis said this could be explained by the relatively large population of Gauteng, the scale of economic activity and the fact that national government administration was headquartered in the province.

“After 2017 and 2016, this is the third-highest number of reports received since Corruption Watch’s launch in 2012. “At a broader level, the report underlines how corruption erodes the pillars of our democracy, taking hold of key institutions of accountability that should exercise oversight of our leaders, and gives rise to the kinds of abuse of power and impunity that we have witnessed as a result,” said Lewis.
