'Witnessing corruption and remaining silent makes one complicit', says Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng

This is according to Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng who has called on South Africans to become whistleblowers in sectors of society that they are in.

“What are you prepared to suffer for? What a shame, if just because of that publicity, or criticism from one source or the other, or the risk of being fired, you become a participant in stealing the resources that are supposed to help the poor,” said Mogoeng to loud applause. “When you are in the company of thieves, of criminals, and you only say ‘you know it’s not right to be a thieve, criminality is wrong’, but do not focus on who the thief is and how they go about stealing what needs to be done to them, they will be joining you. They will come up with profound statements in relation to just how wrong theft and criminality is,” said Mogoeng.

Africa's news leader.Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has told the 17th annual Mandela Lecture that it is unacceptable that 25 years into democracy South Africa still struggles with racism, unemployment and inequality. Maybe we are being too impatient for our politicians liking. They are still busy trying to enrich themselves. To them 25 years is nothing, afterall the country owes them everything for fighting struggle and going to exile(🏃‍♂️). This people are starting to sound like a broken record, tired of hearing the same issues time & again, they're not doing anything about it Race is inextricably linked to economics... it shouldnt be hard to understand that solutions to racism lie in the economic well being of the lowest common denominator

The scale at which we do wrong things tends to be on the extreme – MogoengYou’ve got to be mentally damaged as a person who earns an income to take that which was meant to help the vulnerable, the poor, the homeless, to set up some decent structures for them to inhabit.
