This is not a pleasant statistic to read, especially the day before Madiba’s birthday. The Special Investigations Unit (then the Scorpions, now the Hawks), in conjunction with the South African Security Agency, have revealed that the numbers for corruption are far higher than they should be.
Since the Scorpions started monitoring corruption in 2005, over 20 000 public officials have been found guilty of fraud against the State. Most of the fraud comes from the Security Agency, that provides social grants to more than 15 million South Africans.
A push has been made in parliament by the DA to find out what action will be taken against offenders, but no reply has been forthcoming. In a quest to rid the country of corruption, this is a worrying statistic indeed.
