  1. This is old news, and exposing corruption=Death , this is not news , South Africa is a Movie, South Africa is on another level Nigeria don't have this, South Africa is worse or just loke Columbia . Even worse, Trump was always right, all above mentioned by many so ,so True and all other remarks. Yeah South Africa 🇿🇦 are like Columbia ,Brazil,Peru, where there are Cartel's. Corruption are deadly up to EU 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 European Union Nations ,USA, 🇺🇸 and Africa are aware of it 😮😳🫢😐. Worldwide knows 😳 🌏 Many UN Nations properly aswell knows if they look at any South African 🇿🇦 they properly think how on earth are you people living under such a dangerous, deadly state ,😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🫢!! For talk , talk and do nothing for talk talk and try to do something at the end than its way way to late to do something about it. To make promises you can't keep has destroyed many Leaders,and Nations in state. World over.

  2. THIS NEWS IS the first one that is so similar to those we have in Bolivia. Reading the comments, I agree with those who say that the commissions are useless. In failed states like the one I live in, disguised as 'developing countries,' you can't expect much to change things. Thanks DW for that note, I am sure that if YOU came to Bolivia, There would have months and months of news JUST ON THE TOPIC OF CORRUPTION. then you will realice that is our cancer. I feel very sorry for the citizens of South Africa; these are decades-long problems without a solution.

  3. Our country is rotten 😪 and it all starts and ends with the ANC. That party is literally THE worst thing that has ever happened to South Africa. Thieves, murderers and liars. I regret the day that I voted for them in 1994 😢

  4. Finding corruption is not the limiting factor, the fact that all accused cases dissappear in thin air. Like even the court cases of current and previous presidents themselves. That sets a national standard that corruption is "okay" from the top all the way down to individuals on the ground.

  5. It's really sad how South Africa 🇿🇦 has turned out to be it has all the potentials to be a well developed country yet worst levels of everything destroyed the nation hope someday it can become better though. ❤😊

  6. I lived the majority of my life in Africa and this was one of the reasons I left, in the end its purly animalistic!! No reason, no forthought just pure survival of the fittest at what ever cost, to environment, to the middle class etc, etc!!

  7. This shocking negative media, reputation damage job is so great DW! Now can you do that of the US & Germany? Thank you.
    And oh, Ramaphosa keep speaking against the West's neocolonialism & pilfering of Africa!

  8. South Africa is a mafia state, how do you clean a country when the President put millions of dollars under a sofa? When a President protect his comrade who is a minister of police? Our state is in bed with thugs

  9. South Africa has destroyed their entire system and nation in less than 25 years.
    and by 2050 South Africa will look like Somalia if they don't soon understand that what they are doing is not working, conversely apartheid, corruption, greed, and indifference to their people, only create rot.

  10. Municipalities corruption was overlooked by Anc for 30yrs. Mafias cadres contractors were paid without doing any work. Limpopo is another province which overlooked Municipalities corruption mear water better roads contractors were paid millions without doing any job. Public protector need to visit rural limpopo east west north south. By her self when it rains east rurals villages suffer to reach main roads due to bad roads inside villages greater tzaneen and mopani district ignore eastern village calls on water opening and internal village roads are ignored .call on cross roads tender of 2020 May given to mbeyane contractor to completel cross road on R36 seemed ignored why is the cross not done. Public protons of National and limpopo knows about the mater on water and cross roads . Letters were written to mayor long time ago. No follow up on matters please we want public protector not to ignore the cry of rurals in limpopo
