The civil rights watchdog AfriForum today launched a campaign encouraging state officials to report any corruption related charges at its anti-corruption unit. AfriForum also this week introduced a new website (www.stopcorruption.co.za) where corruption can be reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCorruption is a serious threat to our country\u2019s future and subsequently has an effect on every citizen and frequently it has the most serious influence on those people who struggle the most financially,\u201d says Monique Taute, Head of AfriForum\u2019s anti-corruption unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taute states further she firmly believes that there are state officials that will do the right thing and report corruption should it surface in their respective departments.
\nAfriForum furthermore also launched a marketing campaign to encourage state officials to report corruption. Posters can be observed in the city centre of Johannesburg and Pretoria because that is where the majority of the offices of state departments are located.<\/p>\n

Taute gives the assurance that AfriForum will ensure that those state departments sharing information with the organisation will be protected. The organisation\u2019s anti-corruption unit will also lay criminal charges against corrupt state officials. Should the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) fail to prosecute alleged corrupt individuals, AfriForum\u2019s private prosecuting unit under the leadership of Adv. Gerrie Nel will consider such cases for private prosecution.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa needs state officials that really want to make a difference in the battle against corruption. We want to encourage state officials to take hands with AfriForum and say with us that enough is enough,\u201d concludes Taute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
