Corruption Watch – Details, episodes & analysis

CW is an independent civil society organisation in the social justice sector that was launched in 2012 in response to a climate of growing incidents of corruption in South Africa. We are the local chapter of Transparency International, a global movement with the vision to build accountable public and private institutions that recognise the impact of corruption on human rights. Locally and globally, we are part of a network of diverse institutions that have the common goal of advocating for social justice and fair and transparent processes in governance structures.

Our work has taken us to legislatures, provincial and national, where we have used the opportunities provided to advance our advocacy for marginalised communities as we call for accountability from institutions entrusted with public resources. We are interested in local government, the safety of whistle-blowers, the intersection of land and corruption, gender-related corruption, climate governance integrity, police corruption, and other forms of corruption that affect the ordinary person in South Africa.
