🇿🇦 South Africa Corruption Inc. | People and Power
Last month South African President Jacob Zuma was forced from office by his own party, the African National Congress, when almost a decade's worth of corruption, bribery and racketeering allegations finally became too great to ignore. It is possible that within weeks he could appear in court to face charges relating to at least one of the many financial intrigues from his years in power.
As anyone following this story will know, his most infamous former associates, the billionaire Gupta brothers, are now fugitives from justice amid claims that during the Zuma years they systemically looted state assets on a truly astonishing scale - principally by using their friendship with the then-president to influence political appointments and win lucrative government contracts.

History of South African government branded ‘incredibly corrupt’ after ICJ ruling against Israel
Former South African Institute of Race Relationships CEO Frans Cronje says the history of the South African government is “incredibly corrupt” after the International Court of Justice ruled against Israel.
South Africa filed a case at the ICJ accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
“The history of the South African government is incredibly corrupt,” Mr Cronje told Sky News host Rowan Dean.
“Over the past 25 years, it hasn’t been averse to taking money from corrupt regimes and then offering diplomatic support for them on global forum.
“That goes all the way back to the Suharto regime in Indonesia where South Africa’s ruling party was alleged to have taken $50 million – they did a similar thing, the corrupt Abacha regime which was absolutely brutal, corrupt, autocratic ...

Corruption gnawing at the heart of South Africa's ruling ANC party
The Secretary General of South Africa's ruling ANC party, Ace Magashule, has been charged with multiple counts of fraud, money laundering and corruption. He is accused of embezzling tens of millions of euros during his time as the premier of Free State province. This is one of the biggest corruption scandals ever to involve the party of Nelson Mandela. Our South Africa correspondents visited Free State, one of the poorest provinces in the country, to better understand the allegations against Magashule.

South Africa's corruption problem | The Explainer
We've heard about corruption a lot in the past few years. But how does it work?
In the last decade or so, South Africa has featured in global headlines for corruption affairs more than the progress of its democracy. Corrupt activities are so pervasive that they are seen as endemic. This video shows what corruption means, who are the individuals involved and how they use public procurement to fulfil private interests.

Last month South African President Jacob Zuma was forced from office by his own party, the African National Congress, when almost a decade's worth of corruption, bribery and racketeering allegations finally became too great to ignore. It is possible that within weeks he could appear in court to face charges relating to at least one of the many financial intrigues from his years in power.
As anyone following this story will know, his most infamous former associates, the billionaire Gupta brothers, are now fugitives from justice amid claims that during the Zuma years they systemically looted state assets on a truly astonishing scale - principally by using their friendship with the then-president to influence political appointments and win lucrative government contracts. They are believed to have fled the country and taken refuge in Dubai, where they own property.
But the former president and his state-capturing confrères aren't the only ones under scrutiny in South Africa these days. We've been to examine the role allegedly played by major international companies in scandals so toxic and far reaching, they look set to haunt the country for years to come.

Johannesburg Journal is produced by Julien Trévian. I am a South African by heart, currently studying political science at Sciences Po Bordeaux, in France. My ambition is to work as a journalist, and I am convinced that South Africa can inspire the world by confronting its issues. 2024 will be an exciting year for South Africa, and I'm glad we'll live through it all together!
