The Accountability Tracker works to deepen knowledge about corruption in South Africa. We collaborate to offer tailored anti-corruption responses, rooted in local and global evidence. Corruption in South Africa continues to have far-reaching consequences. The revelations from the Zondo Commission’s inquiry into state capture highlighted the extensive reach of corrupt networks and the staggering financial losses to corruption. South Africa continues to witness the corrosive effects of state capture and ongoing systemic corruption, including significant financial losses, social injustice, service delivery deficits, declining trust in the government, and weakened investor confidence. Shifting the country’s trajectory towards economic and social recovery is now a priority. This project by the Institute for Security Studies and its partners works to deepen knowledge about corruption in South Africa. It collaborates with policymakers, practitioners, and the public to offer tailored anti-corruption responses, rooted in lessons from local and global experience. This initiative benefits from the work and support of a diverse community of researchers, activists, practitioners, and supporters from South Africa and around the globe.
