Non profit organisation, Corruption Watch has released its 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) which shows that South Africa's public sector corruption perceptions have dropped 2 points since last year, with a score of 41. The country's current ranking is the lowest since 2012, with the report highlighting the inability of governments worldwide to combat corruption. Sub-Saharan Africa has shown mixed results, with most countries experiencing stagnation and poor performance. The index has found that the region's challenges stem from decades of underfunding, corruption, illicit financial flows, deepening inequality and social injustice. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to by Karam Singh, executive director of Corruption Watch.
